The Valley of Death

Dug in deep, equipped for attack Outnumbered, determined to win Double trench lines that won’t give in They’re prepared let the battle begin Here again they’ve done this before A lesson that they should have learned by now Reinforced with new men and guns Who are ready for death when it comes United they’re strong, united they’re holding the line The Valley of Death, awaiting the British as they come their way Their attack is coming fight them back Bulgarians holding the line Facing wave after wave, will never surrender Again, again, again, again They attack, Bulgaria held them back Unleash their counter barrage Let it rain artillery pounding the trenches No surrender, fight them until the end Fortified, and made to defy Protected by wires and guns Troops as far as the eye can see They advance under Vazovs command Row on row, as they come from below Twice they attack, twice they’re beaten back Every time they try, they will die Their line of defence is still intact For white, green and red, for the nation they’re fighting for The British are done, three times the defence of Doiran has been won
