The Casualty Lyrics

[Chorus 2]
Night time triggers the land mines
Bedroom wounds, lovers like brigadiers
Marching two by two
Marching two by two
A soldier's down
Flood gates burst

I've said things I wish you'd never heard
Like, "There's still a hole
Where the phone was thrown"

[Outro]
It's growing as we speak
And it's sucking us both in
A vacuum of sorrow
To swallow up the day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
