Across Bloody Fields
Across Bloody Fields
Green to red
Soldiers of sacrifice
Sharpened blades under the rain
Enemies at war hiding in the shade
Blood rain
Another war in vain
Tanks bull-dozing
Smoky air, bombs killing
Skies flooded, ending lives
Boots marching forward
Taking death orders
Brothers suffering for what
Leaders of war
Letters of tears sent home
Things our eyes should never see
Ink of scarlet
What is the meaning of all of this
Leaders of conflict
After-math
Names laid to rest
Another generation for their replacement
A revolving door
Another useless war
Silence in the air
Peace nowhere to be found
