We sailed for parts unknown to man,where ships come home to die
no lofty peak,no fortress bold could match our captains eye
upon the seventh seasick day we made our port of call,a sand so white,and sea so blue,no mortal place at all........
This war we are waging is already lost The cause for the fighting has long been a ghost Malice and habit have now won the day The honours we fought for are lost in the fray
