Rinse and Repeat

So, we get trenched into this sniper’s ground?
Round after round after round after round.

So, we get put here to fight someone’s war?
Man after man after man after man.

So, we breath gun smoke and the rotting human corpse?
Night after day after day after night after night after day.

So, we must run and fire into no man’s land?
Bang after bang after bang after bang.

So, we must kill for what is must?
Death after death after death after death.

So, we must fight and die to end all wars?
War after war after war after war after war after war after war after war.
