The Night In Stalingrad

It comes every once so often Seeking the searing cry of pain With the persistence of starving men It finds the throne to reign Pushing and pushing until I rhyme Against my will I would do this Its determination to them cry Matches only the dying men If you should come from the pits of only Hell Leave me be at the stoop And on that step you will see A man of deadened dreams For the love of the first woman had on the night of Stalingrad The hopes of this city's capture soon Whelms them with tenacity They would fortell only cries and doom on the siezure of this city Citizens scream and run for shelter They're wings were clipped Because of this, they knew no better upon the night of Stalingrad They may search and they may find Their families and all their pieces I wasn't there all those years ago But the dreams pf the involvement make it seem so I've envisioned another just like it Only it wasn't s foreign Upon our soil the blood will set Just like it did in Stalingrad
