Karaoke Track: Columns Of Gray (With Background Vocals) by Engelbert Humperdinck (Dancing Frog Karaoke) - Karaoke Nerds

I walked up the hill
above the old town

The cold wind was howlin'
The rain pourin' down

Darkness descending
I looked all around

The cold wind stopped howling
hardly a sound

Encircled by silence
thought I heard voices say

Welcome young man
to the columns of gray

They came from a land
across the great sea
Left wives bearing children
they never would see

To give us our freedom
they paid with their lives

Selflessly making
the great sacrifice

No gravestones, no cross
marked the place
where they lay

Just the story in gold
on the columns of gray

They reach for the sky
in the form of a star
Remembering the fallen

wherever they are
000 00 oo

The tanks they rolled in
through the mist and the snow
Their guns spitting fire
set the night all aglow

Shells exploding blowing
young dreams to pieces
Soldiers were dying
the wounded crying Jesus

Over the dead
the chaplain did pray

Commending their souls
to the columns of gray

How well they all fought
they gave of their best

God bless their souls
I hope they would rest

And those who were spared
with their story to tell
The cold frozen snow

and the Christmas of hell

They still return every year
just to pray

And remember old friends

neath the columns of gray

They reach for the sky
in the form of a star
Remembering the fallen

wherever they are
000 00 oo

The voices I heard
were the souls of the dead

I listened intently
to each word they said

N0 war's worth beginning
the price is too high
Pray for peace in this world
no one else has to die

Beware men and words
they both can betray

Their story's not told
on the columns of gray

And if on life's journey
one day you might stray
Like the hill o'er Bastogne
you'll find columns of gray

They reach for the sky
in the form of a star

Remembering the fallen
wherever they are

000 00 00
Amen

Amen
Amen

In rememberance
and in honor
of all the men and women who
gave their lives for the
freedom and liberty
we enjoy today.
