I crouch inside this muddy trench. Death is a disease. I'm clouded by smoke With a feeling of unease.
I hear a scream. A cry. A plea. But none of this Reaches me.
I'm firing at another man. Trying to survive. But does it really matter Wether I live or die?
The shell-shocked men. Harsh bright light. I used to care About this fight.
Bullets whizzing Rolling dice. Men praised for Their sacrifice
I feel a pain And look to see The blood spreading Steadily.
I crouch down low And call for aid. But by the time they come I'm laid
In the mud. On the floor. This is how we die, We heroes of war.
I get up slowly. Painfully. I stand up and fire. Death comes for me.
I shake him off. Scream and cry. But I have no choice. I was born to die.
