paroles de chanson Columns of Gray - Engelbert Humperdinck

I walk up the hill above the old town
The cold wind was howling, the rain falling down
Darkness descending I looked all around
The wind has ceased howling hardly a sound
Encircled by silence thought I heard voices say
A welcome young men to the columns of gray
They came from a land across the gray sea
Left wives and bearing children they never would see
To give us our freedom they paid with their lives
Selflessly making a great sacrifice
No gravestones no cross marked the place where they lay
Just the story in gold on the columns of grey
They reach for the sky in the form of a star
Remenbering They're boarding wherever they are
The tanks they rolled in through the mist and the snow
There guns spitting fire set the night all aglow
Shells exploding blowing young dreams to pieces
Soldiers were dying, the wounded crying Jesus
Over the dead the chaplain did pray
Commending their souls to the columns of gray
How well they fought, they gave up their best
Oh God bless their souls I hope they regressed
And those who were spared with their stories to tell
The whole frozen snow and the Christmas
Of. faced to return every year to pray
And remember their friends neath the columns of gray
They reach for the sky in the form of a star
Remembering they're boarding wherever they are
The voices I heard were the souls of the dead
I listened intently to each word they said
No wars worth beginning the price is too high
Pray for peace in this world no one else has to die
Beware men and words they both can be twained
Their stories not told on the columns of gray
And if on life's journey one day you might stray
Like the hill of oer Bastoine you would find columns of gray
They reach for the sky in the form of a star
Remembering they're boarding wherever they are
Amen, amen, amen
