Reality of War

By the riverside the dead echoes flow By the riverside the yellow meadows stand fast In the breeze of the wind the smell of death lingers Not so far fires rage at the heart of the storm Not so far liars cage the hearts of the lukewarm souls Within the depths of heaven smoke rises Within the depths of heaven the dead croak Bellow the gates of heaven screams reach for help In the streets of hell fires blaze In the streets of hell death reins Down the barrel of death they look Down the peril of death they fall Against the trigger the pressure rises Screams of life don’t last long Dreams of death yearn for life The lights of heaven fade as the dead look for life The gates of paradise close as the dead show violent dissension The realm of the living worse than the fires of hell Down he looks at his creations falling from grace The legacy left behind left in trails of disappear
