Tricked by politicians

Young and old

Undaunted Soldier after Soldier march on

Bullets pierce the air

Body after body falls

Terror reigns over the trenches

Machine guns blaze through the moonlight

Shattering the endless night

The smell of gunpowder soaks through the trenches

The boots of Soldiers undaunted enshrouded in mud

Enshrouded in blood

The mortar shells crack and shatter no man’s land

A desolate field of everlasting grey

Where not even a mouse could find a way out

Willing to fight this battle, pining for victory

Undaunted Soldier after Soldier meet death’s sickle

The splintering of bones

The shattering of wills

The end of us all
