Grim Four

Only few soldiers left, only four

Our hands stained forevermore

Quietly grim darkness creeps

We are all grim, and have all reaped lives

Gunshots ringing in the air

Fire freely burns the terf

Spirits restless in their murdered sleep

How could we have caused this madness

Trees moan with the weight of what we have done

Plunged our hands into their blood

That may run in our own veins

Holding a blade to your brother’s neck

Kill or be killed, there is no middle ground

Wives howling over their husbands

With their hearts long since broken

Pain burns like wildfire through our hearts

Yet cool, chill calm settles over us

Yet we have no hope

Because when all’s said and done

Now the war will never be won
