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
