The Price of a Mile Lyrics
Hear the sound of a machinegun
Hear it echo in the night
Mortars firing rains the scene
Scars the fields that once were green
It’s a stalemate at the frontline
Where the soldiers rest in mud
Roads and houses all is gone
There’s no glory to be won
Know that many men will suffer
Know that many men will die
Half a million lives at stake
At the fields of Passchendaele
And as the night falls the general calls
And the battle carries on and on
What is the purpose of it all?
What’s the price of a mile?
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It’s an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It’s an army in despair
Knee deep in mud
Stuck in a trench with no way out
Thousand of machineguns
Kept on firing through the night
Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene
Gone is the fields that once were green
Still a deadlock at the frontline
Where the soldiers die in mud
Roads and houses since long gone
Still no glory has been won
Know that many men has suffered
Know that many men has died
6 miles of ground has been won
Half a million men are gone
And as the men crawled the general called
And the killing carried on and on
What was the purpose of it all?
What’s the price of a mile?
There’s no price for a mile
Hear it echo in the night
Mortars firing rains the scene
Scars the fields that once were green
Where the soldiers rest in mud
Roads and houses all is gone
There’s no glory to be won
Know that many men will die
Half a million lives at stake
At the fields of Passchendaele
And the battle carries on and on
What is the purpose of it all?
What’s the price of a mile?
It’s an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men lives
It’s an army in despair
Knee deep in mud
Stuck in a trench with no way out
Kept on firing through the night
Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene
Gone is the fields that once were green
Where the soldiers die in mud
Roads and houses since long gone
Still no glory has been won
Know that many men has died
6 miles of ground has been won
Half a million men are gone
And the killing carried on and on
What was the purpose of it all?
What’s the price of a mile?

The Battle Of Passchendaele or the 3rd Battle Of Ypres was fought in WW1. One of Canada's Most Famous Battle's (after Vimy Ridge) sadly after thousands of Entente Deaths Taking the Boggy Battle Field The Germans Later Counterattacked and won back the ground.

Like Most Of WW1 Battles Every Victory was Pyrrhic Victory.

I'd like to mention that /tg/ users tend to REALLY like Sabaton, especially the WH40K players among us.
