Sabaton - The Ballad Of Bull with lyrics

Title: The Ballad Of Bull | Band: Sabaton | Album: Heroes | Year: 2014 _______________________________ Here is the lyrics (OFFICIAL FROM SABATON.NET) : 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 out one by one There and back again, bullets all around All of the men that he carried away 12 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 Australias shore, Bull Allen went to war Sometimes war is saving, sometimes it’s taking lives Thanks to one single man, a dozen more survives 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 _____________________________________________ Historic fact (OFFICIAL FROM SABATON.NET) : Leslie “Bull” Allen was an Australian stretcher bearer who served in the pacific, and his actions on mount Tambu in New Guinea is something quite extraordinary. During one day at the front he ran straight into enemy fire alone, time after time to pick up wounded American soldiers. 12 times he went up the hill, and 12 times he came down with a wounded allied soldier on his shoulder. For this selfless act he was awarded with the US Silver star.
