[Verse 1]
A As the drumDm roll started on that day
Heard a hundBb/Dred miles away
A milC/Dlion shells were fired
And the greenA fields turned to grey
The bombardDmment lasted all day long
Yet the fortsBb/D were standing strong
HeaC/Dvily defended,
Now the trap'sBb been sprung and the batFtle beCgun
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Descend into Adarkness
Gm Three hundred three Bbdays below the sun
C Fields of Verdun,
[Chorus]
Dm Bb and the batCtle has begun Am
Nowhere to run,Bb father and son Dm
Fall one by oneGm under the gun A
Thy will be done,Dm Bb and the judgeCment has begun Am
Nowhere to run,Bb father and son Dm
Fall one by one,Abdim7 fields of Verdun A
[Verse 2]
Though a milDmlion shells have scarred the land
No one hasBb/D the upper hand
From the groundC/D above to trenches
Where the solAdiers make their stand
As the trenDmches slowly turn to mud
And then quickBb/Dly start to flood
Death awaitsC/D in every corner
As they dieBb in the mud, fill the trenFches with Cblood
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm Descend into Adarkness
Gm Three hundred three Bbdays below the sun
C Fields of Verdun,
