Seven thirty
the whistle blows
Over the top
the order goes
Grab the ladder
take a breath
Over the top
into the jaws of death…
Breathe in
Aim
Breathe out
Shoot to kill
Death and screams all around
end of dreams, more men go down
Devils chariot, metal beast
war machine that needs to feast
From High Wood to the Danger Tree
this is the world that’s left for me…
Breathe in
Aim
Breathe out
Shoot to kill
Yeah
We’re flying
We’re soaring forever
Yeah
We’re wasting
We’re falling together
Yeah
We’re flying
We’re soaring forever
Yeah
We’re wasting
We’re falling together
Shoot to kill
the whistle blows
Over the top
the order goes
Grab the ladder
take a breath
Over the top
into the jaws of death…
Breathe in
Aim
Breathe out
Shoot to kill
Death and screams all around
end of dreams, more men go down
Devils chariot, metal beast
war machine that needs to feast
From High Wood to the Danger Tree
this is the world that’s left for me…
Breathe in
Aim
Breathe out
Shoot to kill
Yeah
We’re flying
We’re soaring forever
Yeah
We’re wasting
We’re falling together
Yeah
We’re flying
We’re soaring forever
Yeah
We’re wasting
We’re falling together
Shoot to kill

The Great War
2014 was the centenary of the “war to end all wars” and I had the idea to compose some music around the subject. Rather than just release one song or EP in 2014, I decided it would be an interesting concept to release one song a year, from 2014 to 2018 that, combined, would form one (longer) piece of music.
In 2018 Bad Elephant approached me with the idea of releasing the project as a full album and this opportunity has allowed me to re-record and reinterpret the songs I had written since 2014 and also include some additional ones, the end result being The Great War album.
