All and Everyone

Death was everywhere
In the air and in the sounds
Coming off the mounds
Of Bolton's Ridge
Oh death's anchorage
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

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
As we advanced into the sun
Death was all and everyone
Death was all and everyone

As we advanced in the sun
As we advanced, every man
As we advanced in the sun

Death hung in the smoke and clung
To four hundred acres of useless beachfront
A bank of red earth, dripping down
Death is now, and now, and now

Death was everywhere
In the air and in the sounds
Coming off the mounds
Of Bolton's Ridge
Oh death's anchorage
Death was in the staring sun
Fixing its eyes on everyone
It rattled the bones of the Light Horsemen
Still lying out there in the open

As we advanced in the sun
As we advanced, every man
As we advanced in the sun
Sing "Death to all and everyone
