No Love Lyrics
No Love Lyrics
No resting arms
Nor bosom smitten,
Where conflict harms
Once shy, twice bitten,
A virgin riled
Soon does goad
The wrath of a child
As cannons reload.
Hidden in history,
A languid heart,
Conflicts in mystery
As lover's depart,
Two hearts betwixt
With regrets intrusion,
Midst stones and sticks
The finale, an illusion.
Not lovelorn rage
Nor wailing wenches
Can pay death's wage
In silenced trenches,
A king's shilling,
A christmas box
'tis woefully willing,
Unspent, since lost.
No love lyrics
Nor smiling song,
In peace war mimicks
A poppies throng,
Medals for the brave
Sway too grim,
Lacklustre to the grave
Eyes flutter dim.
Impoverished souls
Forlorn and lost,
In bullet holes
Shall count the cost,
Survivors dwindle
One by one,
Perchance to rekindle
The song of the sun.
No loves missed
Nor heroes unsung
For widows kissed
And tyrants hung,
A dead man's shame
Is no greater loss
Than the unknown name
On yet another cross.
