Brave Men Wade Into Shadows On Death's Ground

Power of one secret word can shatter all,
 send men into war and deadly harms way.
Dead and dying on battlefields they fall
 for dead glory and pittance of pay.
Brave men wade shadows on death's ground
 duty bound, praying for divine reprieves.
Bloodshed reigns, ghastly deaths are found
 Dark Lord lies, that eternally deceives! 

Curse not legions of those fallen brave,
 honor rests in dying for a true cause.
Heroes die in pain, as madmen simply rave
 wasted lives best give deeper pause!
Blood gushes from spears with iron tips
 lives depart in battles forgotten.
Charon sings out about his many trips
 ferrying bodies gashed, dead and rotten!

Honor embraced those that fought dying well,
 others lay in dark forgotten graves.
Charon took their lost souls deep into Hell
 where misery lives, nothing ever saves.
No record exists of battlefield dying words
 testaments of mouths gurgling red blood.
Rotting flesh, meals for hell's carrion birds
 maggots feasting upon blood soaked mud!

Fear one secret word that can shatter all
 duty, honor fail when wrapped in lies.
True warriors live to answer a just call
 seeking life later in Vahalla's skies.
Serving truth in defending freedom's fate
 they may find death to not be so hard.
Each knows with death they do have a date
 a joker resting on at least one card!

Power of one secret word can shatter all,
 send men into war and deadly harms way.
Dead and dying on battlefields they fall
 for dead glory and pittance of pay.
Brave men wade shadows on death's ground
 duty bound, praying for divine reprieves.
Bloodshed reigns, ghastly deaths are found
 Dark Lord lies, that eternally deceives!
