lyrics

D.Q.N.S.P. (Di Qui Non Si Passa)


What is an exercise in futility
if not the stubborn strategy
the relentless sacrifice of men
in the havoc of a lost war

The 10th of June
a bad omen
the appearance of the fog

On the barren rock of Ortigara
the first died of miscalculation
a friendly fire and some unsettled bombs

The rest succumbed in countless charges
as the spirits of the ever stoutly soldiers
nonetheless crumbled

Relentless sacrifice of men
on Ortigara

Relentless sacrifice of men
on Ortigara

We hardly conquered
just to lose thereafter
weak strongholds
of a courageous army
led by a baffled brain

The dry soil bathed in the blood
of twenty-five thousand men
fruitlessly massacred

Your enemies long gone
the mountain remains, rid of clamour
a cropped column to
remind of thine deaths
