Sacrifice

We stand and wait We face this fate so dire We see the moon Knowing our sun’s on fire There’s no escape We chose this end They’ll get away But let’s not pretend Weapons drawn We eat and swallow fear No time to mourn No time for tears Our lives were born Out of war and hate The world of men Is just too desolate They’re much too young To wield axe and blade They’re much too young To to kill someone They’ll have a chance That we were never given Perhaps sleep at night With no fear for living No peace in sight No rest for us Some may have life A life of suns We try not to think We try not to run We bought them time The moon lights our eyes We’ll die for them.
