Field of new hopes
Walking through the grass
Sticks and twigs break under his feet
Just a day ago they walked en masse
Now he only knew defeat
They walked into an impasse
There was no time left to retreat
The fight they fought was horrible
They were outnumbered, could not compete
A number of deaths not ignorable
Although the list was not complete
This loss was still deplorable
And with his riffle at the slope
He walks his way back home
He lost all faith, he lost all hope
Walking, through the fields to roam
His comrades died on that awful day
And he just could not understand why
How come he was still okay?
It must be a miracle, he was meant to survive
So he forgot about war, that haunted his life
At the end of the field the sun will rise
