Phosgene Gas Heartbreak
Such a dirty game of trench warfare, 
 Like an evil maze to your heart 
 When I think I am there, 
 Another mud wall appears 
 Covered in rotting bodies 
 Of the ones you left behind 
 Getting eaten by rats ever so slowly 
 The smell of death and gunpowder 
 Burning my nose like lime 
 All these barriers to you 
 Almost rediculous in a sickening way 
 My head is hanging low 
 Drunk with fatigue 
 I cannot keep fighting against you 
 The gas you use on me 
 Choking me with this malevolent smile 
 Filling my lungs with cancerous blood 
 I feel as though the gas mask is far away 
 Too far away 
 Even though it is right next to me 
 But I give up, this mêlée is now yours 
 But as history flows, 
 I will be back to start... 
 My second World War.
