The Line Waiting in the trenches Waiting for the order The order comes "To the line!" To become the fodder Trench full of blood and mire To live through this "Fix Bayonets!" The order comes "Over the wire!" They all fire Machine guns roar Through No Man's Land One goes down Stuck to the wire Many tire All hold one desire They all fire Another dies At home his daughter cries Artillery flies Shells fall 'round Moon of ground Into the trenches All shall go The war drums pounding The bugles sounding All goes quiet The man on the wire Hear his death knell? The order comes "Over the wire!"
