I sit in the trenches
Defeating my fears
The fears of death
And sharp pointy spears
I go into battle
With family in mind
Then they took me down
And I painfully went blind
The guns are now laughing
They are so proud
Now I lay peacefully
In the blood covered crowd
I think of the life
I could have had
But the fact that I fought
Makes me so glad
What I now hope for
Is that there’ll be peace
People will live
And fighting will cease
