• Welcome to the trench,
    I say welcome my lad!
    Today you shall kill,
    and you will feel sad.

    Welcome to the trench,
    your friend you will carry.
    Say goodbye to his life,
    and the days that you where merry.

    Welcome to the trench,
    now fire your gun!
    For your spirit is broken,
    and your sympathy is done.

    Welcome to the trench,
    where pink mist falls.
    Your friend's bodies are blown apart,
    like ragged y old dolls.

    Welcome to the trench,
    where there is old cheese.
    But the rats are coming,
    and all else flees!

    Welcome to the trench,
    where bullets fly by.
    Why are you crying,
    are you afraid to die?

    Welcome to the trench,
    where you give your all.
    Today you will die,
    Today you will fall.

    Welcome to the trench,
    you have been shot in the head.
    You have witnessed so much,
    but now you are dead.
