Kokoda - Only The Brave Ones

(albüm: Spirit Of The Anzacs - 2015)

Storm clouds black the sky
The rain comes pouring down
This god forsaken place
Will bring you to your knees
We swellted through each day
In sweat and desperation
Diggers on the march
On the Kokoda track

Step by muddy step
Torched out by ours
Some pray, some swore with fear
That you'd never show your mates
The kid beside me dropped
Shot right between the eyes
Death waits in the jungle
Under Kokoda skies

And it's only the brave ones
Afraid but keep on going
One step moving forward
The next step slipping back
And scared bloody stiff
Still we keep on going
It's only the brave ones
Out on the Kokoda track

From the land of the rising sun
They came screaming through the darkness
And a few militia boys
They held the buggers back
The wounded carried down
By fassy wassy angels
Heroes blood was spilled
On the Kokoda track

Yes, it's only the brave ones
Afraid but keep on going
One step moving forward
The next step slipping back
And scared bloody stiff
Still you keep on going
It's only the brave ones
Out on the Kokoda track

Private Kingsbury fought beside
His mates in Isurava
When it seemed that all was lost
Alone he rushed the lines
They finally cut him down
But his courage turned the battle
He laid down his life
On the Kokoda track

Yes, it's only the brave ones
Afraid but keep on going
One step moving forward
The next step slipping back
And scared bloody stiff
But still you keep on going
It's only the brave ones
Out on the Kokoda track
Yes, it's only the brave ones
Out on the Kokoda track
