The Price of Hydro
Hear the sound of the M41
Hear it echo in the night
Mortar fire rains the scene
Scorched the fields that once were green
It's a stalemate at barrens
Where the soldiers rest in mud
Roads and houses all is gone
There is no glory to be won
Know that many medics will suffer
Know that many engies will die
Half a billion credits at stake
At the fields of Lazarus
And as the night falls the commander calls
And the battle carries on
And on
How long?
What is the purpose of it all
What's the price of Hydro?
Hundreds of boots march to the beat
It's four squadrons on the march
Long way from home
Paying WY's price in young unga's lives
Hundres of feet march to the beat
It's four squadrons in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck behind cades with no way out
Thousands of shotguns
Firing buckshot through the night
Mortars blaze and wreck the scene
Flame the fields that now burn green
Still a deadlock at the river
Where the soldiers die in mud
Roads and houses since long gone
Still no glory has been won
Know that many SLs have suffered
Know that many specs have died
Finally T-Fort has been won
Half a hundred men are gone
And as the men crawled
Bill Carson called
And the killing carried on
And on
How long?
What's the purpose of it all?
What's the price of Hydro?
Hundreds of boots march to the beat
It's four squadrons in the caves
Long way from home
Paying WY's price in young unga's lives
Hundreds of feet march to the beat
It's three squadrons back outside
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck behind cades with no way out
Young privates are dying
They pay the price
Oh how they suffer
So tell me what's the price of Hydro?
That's the price of Hydro.
Hundreds of boots march to the beat
It's two squadrons on the run
Long way from home
Paying the price in young unga's lives
Dozens of feet march to the beat
It's the bravos in despair
Knee-deep in dead
Stuck in the FOB with the Queen outside
