At the horizon,
An illusion of an oasis,
Gives me hope to take a few steps more,
But the shrapnel,
They have a plan of their own,
And you never know what they have in store.

In the desert land,
Deserted, I stand,
Alone,
Fighting this unwanted war…

At the horizon,
I see some friendly Bedouins,
Gives me hope to take a few steps anyways,
But the war zone,
Has a plan of its own,
Like those mines that take my legs away.

In the desert land,
Deserted, I stand,
Alone,
Fighting this unwanted war…

My stupid conscience,
My damn ethics and discipline,
None stand a chance,
In this non ceremonial burial ground,

The sandstorm pours over,
Keeping me six feet under.
