Lyrics:

There's no where to run, and there's no turning back,
Stick to the plan and prepare to attack.

The Blood and the rain and the thunder and fear,
We pray to 'the' God for the hour is here!

Over, the top we'll go, into a hail of fire!
Tears! Screams! Agony! Treading on barbed Wire!

(Chorus)
Push on, keep up the fight, struggle through, come what may
There's nothing to fear, but fear itself, so men, stay on your way!

We trudge through the mud with a fire in our heart,
But questions un-answered, how did this all start?

Are our enemies so different, do they think the same?
In the end we're both losers with nothing to gain!

Conflict, in my mind, what are we fighting for?
Friends? Lovers? Family? The price to pay, is this damned war!

(Chorus)
Push on, keep up the fight, struggle through, come what may
There's nothing to fear, but fear itself, so men, stay on your way!

We come face to face and the battle ensues,
Our comrades they fall, but we still will not lose!

The crushing of bone and the splatter of blood,
The tears of those dying that lay in the mud!

Bleeding, helplessly, and so my time has come,
I close my eyes, take my final breathe, as I embrace my death.

(Chorus)
Push on, keep up the fight, struggle through, come what may
There's nothing to fear, but fear itself, so men, stay on your way!

Firstly, a MASSIVE thanks to Sam, without him this never would've happened. I wrote this track back in December, where until May it stayed hidden away in my projects folder, as i didn't have the vocal range for what i wanted, as i wrote this in the style of the band 'Trivium' of which i am a huge fan. However i wrote the lyrics in the style of Iron Maiden as they were, and still are, the biggest influence on my playing and writing style (Up the Irons!) I asked Sam if he would be up for singing (and to give a Matt Heafy feel to it) and a few weeks later he dropped me his vocal track and video which blew me away and is really the highlight (for me anyway) of this track. I may have written the lyrics, but he made this song, and i am, and always will be eternally grateful for what he has done.

I hope you enjoy this track, and thank you all SO much for helping me get this far with my music, and with hitting past 1,700 subs, you're all amazing and again, thank you so much!!!!

If you dig Sam's voice, check out his band 'Demise of Sanity' who are head-lining the 'Chaos' Metal Festival in Guernsey this year, if you dig Metallica, Trivium and Iced Earth, you'll LOVE his stuff! Check it out here!
