The Ballad of Bull

Song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRTM2C…

Special thanks to for the editing.

This touching song tells the story of Leslie "Bull" Allen, non-comissioned corpral from Australia. At Mt Tambu, the allies were hit extremly hard and had to retreat, leaving the wounded behind. However, "Bull" couldn't accept this and went up and back again to save his wounded mates, without any thought of his own life. A story of a brave and unselfish Hero.

Song rightfully belongs to Sabaton.

Sometimes war is killing…

sometimes it’s saving lives.

It’s the judgement of fate…

it’s nothing that man can dictate.

Corporal Leslie Allen carried them from Tambu!

Saved his brothers in arms, went out and followed through.

 

There and back again…

"Bull" just carried on.

Under fire he carried them off one by one.

There and back again…

Bullets all around.

All of the men that he carried away…

Twelve men would now live to see one more day.

His fear held at bay…

As he carried them away.

 

Sometimes war is killing…

sometimes it’s saving lives.

From Australia's shore…

“Bull” Allen went to war.

Sometimes war is saving…

Sometimes it's taking lives!

Thanks to one single man…

A dozen more survived!

 

There and back again…

"Bull" just carried on.

Under fire he carried them off one by one.

There and back again…

Bullets all around.

All of the men that he carried away…

Twelve men would now live to see one more day.

His fear held at bay…

As he carried them away.

 

Some men return from a war in a bag…

And yet the world knows their story!

Others return, unwilling to brag…

Alive and humble at heart!

 

No...!

There and back again…

"Bull" just carried on.

Under fire he carried them off one by one.

There and back again…

Bullets all around.

All of the men that he carried away…

Twelve men would now live to see one more day.

His fear held at bay…

As he carried them away.
