World War One

So heroic was our fight, So glorious was our rivalry For years we struggled, Day and night Ammo was limited as we passed it around Shadowy figures faded in and out As the darkness rolls in covering the ground Spirits run dry and bayonets are drawn all down the line With midnight approaching the whistles are blown Up and over we go into the unkown With a loud blow the MG's are fired My brothers rush forward, Being shot down This is my life, In the mud and the muck The Trenches are filled with bodies, I have seen more than enough As i rushed forward, I was violetly struck down The lead hit my body and suddenly I was covered in blood My soul now wonders these long lost feilds Glory has now faded, And this land has now healed Our struggles have been forgotten, And our sacrifices go unknown My brothers bodies are now marked by a simple stone I died for my country So wonderful indeed My struggles have now faded, In fields now so green.
