War Song
November 17, 2009
There is a time when at war,
Men do things they never thought before.
Bullets fly and people die,
Men that will breathe no more.
Men who were so brave,
Are now lying in their grave.
Bullets fly and people die,
Men that will live no more.
History is doomed to repeat,
As the armies lay in defeat.
Bullets fly and people die,
Men that will be no more.
We are doomed to be in war,
In this world forever more.

Very nice job! The first 2 lines reminded me of my uncle who got caught behind enemy lines during WW2 and never wanted to talk about it.
