[Verse 1]
Death was everywhere
In the air and in the sounds
Coming off the mounds of Bolton's Ridge
Ooh, death's anchorage

[Verse 2]
When you rolled a smoke or told a joke
It was in the laughter and drinking water
It approached the beach as strings of cutters
Dropped into the sea and lay around us

[Verse 3]
Death was in the ancient fortress
Shelled by a million bullets
From gunners waiting in the copses
With hearts that threatened to pop their boxes

[Pre-Chorus]
As we advanced into the sun
Death was all and everyone
Death was all and everyone

[Chorus]
As we, advancing in the sun
As we, advancing every man
As we, advancing in the sun
[Verse 4]
Death hung in the smoke and clung
To 400 acres of useless beach front
A bank of red earth, dripping down
Death is now, and now, and now

[Verse 5]
Death was everywhere
In the air and in the sounds
Coming off the mounds of Bolton's Ridge
Ooh, death's anchorage

[Verse 6]
Death was in the staring sun
Fixing its eyes on everyone
Rattling the bones of the Light Horsemen
Still lying out there in the open

[Chorus]
As we, advancing in the sun
We, advancing every man
We, advancing in the sun
Sing, "Death to all and everyone"
