Tears of Death

The soldiers returned from war 
Their Eyes filled with tears
Of infinity without any victories.
There was no cure for
Where the burning spear hurts

They watched engraved in agony,
Their brother’s bodies lying lifeless
As they await their last
Ceremony to the life beyond
Where there are no stories.

Your Phrasing is just perfect to express the sadness and loss of heart experienced by the soldiers.
