NEVER COMING BACK song lyrics by Joel Sattler [another in a series of songs about World War One] This is the end of it waiting for morn to come never coming back out on the battlefield with one hand on the gun never coming back none of us wants to be here but what is done is done never coming back bodies in no man zone when you die die alone never coming back I was all alone on the parapet smoking my last cigarette knowing this time it was make it or break it hoping I was mistaken no one ever has ever returned from the undiscovered country yet no one ever has returned from the undiscovered country yet This is the end of it waiting for morn to come never coming back out on the battlefield with one hand on the gun never coming back none of us wants to be here but what is done is done never coming back bodies in no man zone when you die die alone never coming back there was a time I still had some faith but now I am here staring into the face no one ever made it across and come back to pay the bet This is the end of it waiting for morn to come never coming back out on the battlefield with one hand on the gun never coming back none of us wants to be here but what is done is done never coming back bodies in no man zone when you die die alone never coming back no one ever has returned from the undiscovered country yet no one ever has returned from the undiscovered country yet tonight there will be no sleep only the sound of the rain never coming back so cold I cannot feel what there is left of the pain never coming back somewhere so far back home there wakes a pretty young girl never coming back she might as well be in another world never coming back Yesterday all my friends fell down in Flanders Field charging machine guns but the front line did not yield tomorrow we will march again and we try to do our worse if the land mines and mustard gas doesn't get us first no one ever has returned from the undiscovered country yet no one ever has returned from the undiscovered country yet This is the end of it waiting for morn to come never coming back out on the battlefield with one hand on the gun never coming back none of us wants to be here but what is done is done never coming back bodies in no man zone when you die die alone never coming back ==========================

When you're at the edge of hell, it's hard to come back. You may look like one piece, but your mind is shattered by what you have endured and will never come back to your playful youth.

Powerful stuff - Heart-breaking - My grandmother's brother, wounded, half-starved and shell-shocked, was sent back to the front line three times. They got him in the end. You're right, there is no coming back.
