The Shattered Hearts of War

As the soldiers around us lay dead I feel sad for them as they lie motionless We try to avenge them and get ahead But we had to retreat - leaving fallen bodies behind us I think of the soldiers' wives and children that will cry ober their fallen love Their tears falling on the soil like endless raindrops Will we ever see our loved ones again? As the explosions show brightly around us We fight on to go back to our homes and families I fight for one purpose - to live and return to my love We hold everyones' fates in our hands

As the bodies pile up around us It seems no one else notices or cares But I care and yet try to stay focused as the time passes and only more die

We fight with all out might who knows how long it shall be? As the years drag by Will I ever forget the sights I saw?
