All And Everyone Lyrics - Let England Shake - Pj Harvey

Death was everywhere, 

In the air 

And in the sounds 

Coming off the mounds 

Of Bolton's Ridge. 

Death's anchorage. 

When you rolled a smoke 

Or told a joke, 

It was in the laughter 

And drinking water 

It approached the beach 

As strings of cutters, 

Dropped in the sea and lay around us. 

Death was in the ancient fortress, 

Shelled by a million bullets 

From gunners, waiting in the corpses 

With hearts that threatened to pop their boxes, 

As we advanced into the sun 

Death was all and everyone. 

Death was all and everyone. 

As we advance in the sun 

As we advancing every man 

As we advancing in the sun 

Death hung in the smoke and clung 

To four hundred acres of useless beachfront. 

A bank of red earth, dripping down 

Dead is now, and now, and now 

Death was everywhere 

In the air 

And in the sounds 

Coming off the mounds 

Of Bolton's Ridge. 

Death's anchorage. 

Death was in the staring sun, 

Fixing its eyes on everyone. 

It rattled the bones of the Night Horsemen 

Still lying out there in the open
