Soldiers.
Fear amongst their faces
I hear loud screams of anger
Some sounds are unknown,
Some I don’t notice, they’re so familiar to me.

Tortured skeletons crumble in the trenches,
As they wait for their day to die.
Starved bodies stumble their way through warfare.
Hollow eyes stare at me,
as I see my reflection in the swamp of war.

Slowly sinking into its mud,
Going down as I’m fighting my way up.
Suffocating in the gas of death
I’m vomiting life as I’ve eaten war against my will.

How many hours, how many days,
How many years until the end?
I can’t bear this burden of cruelty.

Facing my worst fears
Waiting to be executed.
I see bodies, seperated from their souls,
But yet they are still alive.

Expecting the unexpected,
Am I able to create any hope?
Will I fight my way through,
And will this hell end, as sudden as it started?

Yes, I’ll be a father for my waiting family
Yes, I’ll give them all the care they need.
Flying up to the sky, I will greet them in the eternal paradise,
Making up everything I did wrong.

Hoping they still know me,
Hoping they can forgive my mistakes.
Despite all my crimes...

...Please wait for me
Please care for me
Please forgive me.
