Tales From The Trenches

With the night comes the silence no cannons roar

But still far from peaceful this is war

Cries of all the wounded screaming for hours until they die

Crouched down in this trench of mud always asking why

And we believed in all those lies dying in fields with shining sunlight

Dying for our beloved fatherland

Constant death blinds my eyes kills my mind

It is hell on earth that we find

Pain pain so much pain clouds are crying endless rain

I think that it will never stop again

Pictures burned in my mind never to forget

This is all that is left from the life I had

I can remember back seems like an age ago

The weapons call

We were young we did not know

What was waiting for us all

Suddenly out of nowhere the attack begins

Flashing detonations roaring sound

Hear the hissing of the gas grenades

Donning the gasmask blood and dying all around

Enemy like living dead out of the night

I pull the trigger

Killing all that come in sight

Without remorse

Killing firing living dying

In the end cannot win

Sing the song that dead men sing

Dying in the mud in the rain

End of life end of pain

Mercy came to me as a sudden death best gift you can ever have

No fields of gold no sunlight cold and night

No one to hold my dying hand no one to care

Only me and my old friend death he is always there
