 The Lyrics To this Song are :
 
  Make his fight on the hill in the early day
  Constant chill deep inside
  Shouting gun, on the run through the endless grey
  Оn they fight, for they are right, yes, but who`s to say?
  For a hill men would kill, why?  They do not know
  Suffered wounds test their pride
  Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
  Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
 
     For whom the bell tolls
     Time marches on
     For whom the bell tolls
 
  Take a look to the sky just before you die
  It is the last time he will
  Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
  Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
  Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
  He hears the silence so loud
  Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
  Now they see what will be, blinded eyes to see
 
     For whom the bell tolls
     Time marches on
     For whom the bell tolls
