Do You Hear The Bugle Sing Way Up On The Hill?

Do you hear the bugle sing way up on the hill?

Do you hear the bugle sing way up on the hill?

Do you hear the bugle ring for another to be killed?

Do you hear the bugle sing way up on the hill?

Do you hear the clang of chains way up on the hill?

Do you hear the clang of chains way up on the hill?

Do you see the bloody stains way up on the hill?

Do you hear the clang of chains way up on the hill?

Do you see the hooded man way up on the hill?

Do you see the hooded man way up on the hill?

Do you see him tied to a tree waiting to be killed?

Do you see the hooded man way up on the hill?

He gave his life for this war way up on the hill

He gave his life for this war way up on the hill

But to save a young soldier from being killed

He gave his life for this war way up on the hill

An Officer thinks he can push a man to death

Push a 16 year old kid scared to leave the nest

But if you go against him, you’ll end up like the rest

Shot by firing squad as a lesson and a test
