Who will know? >Struggling over the wire, we try and try and try... >She smiles when you clean her, carry her in your hand. >Your rifle by your side, cared for. Loved for. >She is your friend, your lover. The key part of your band. >You trust her with your life, as do your comrades by the score. >The slow march towards death, met with grim determination. >Your friends fall around you, their rifles cry out. >The great chatter of guns, screaming their vindication. >The noise of hell, fills a man with doubt. -------------------------- >Walking across the fields, >Marching down the streets. >Heads held high, >Banners held higher. >The streets are choked with rubble, >The fields are burning. >Banners blow tattered in the wind, >There are no marches anymore. >This means little anymore, >Too much lies at stake. >Yet the banner still flies high, >Up against that deep blue sky. -------------------------- >As we dance this serenade, >As we step on our friends grave, >The world will begin to fade. >But it's okay. >After all, >we are all dead and unafraid. -------------------------- >Just like that day. >The clouds are clear as I sit there. >I can remember her smile, the tinkle of the sugar cube. >She loved that place. >I loved her. >Time seemed to slow when I was with her. >All the people and their chatter, it flowed around us like water to a rock. >It felt like forever, those moments. >Just like that day. >The clouds are clear as I sit here. >Rounds kick up dirt around my foxhole. >Their crack, a distant shells boom. >I hate this place. >Why am I here? >Time seems to slow as I look above the lip. >All the guns are screaming, bullets flying all around me. >I feel like I'll be stuck here forever. >Just like that day. >Maybe I'll be with her.
