The Price of a Mile

Lyrics
It's a stalemate at the front line
Where the soldiers rest in mud
Roads and houses
All is gone
There is no glory to be won
And as the night falls the general calls
And the battle carries on and on
How long?
What is the purpose of it all
What's the price of a mile?
Thousands of machineguns
Kept on firing through the night
Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene
Guns in the fields that once were green
Six 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
How long?
What's the purpose of it all?
What's the price of a mile?
That's the price of a mile.
