Sabaton:The Ballad of Bull

Sometimes war is killing
Sometimes it's saving lives
In the judgement of fate
It's nothing that man can dictate
Corporal Leslie Allen carried them from Tambu
Saved his brothers in arms
Went out and followed through

There and back again
Bull just carried on
Under fire he carried them out one by one
There and back again
Bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
Twelve men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay
As he carried them away

Sometimes war is killing
Sometimes it's saving lives
From Australia's shore
Bull Allen went to war
Sometimes war is saving
Sometimes it's taking lives
Thanks to one single man
A dozen more survived

There and back again
Bull just carried on
Under fire he carried them out one by one
There and back again
Bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
Twelve men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay
As he carried them away

Some men return from a war in a bag
And yet the world knows their story
Others return
Unwilling to brag
Alive and humble at heart

No
There and back again
Bull just carried on
Under fire he carried them out one by one
There and back again
Bullets all around
All of the men that he carried away
Twelve men would now live to see one more day
His fear held at bay
As he carried them away
