over the top we go
with are hearts in are mouths
and guns on are back
the genrale shouting for us to hurry

we reach no mans land
running trying to win it over
shoting what ever and who ever we can


with bulits flying everywere
and bodys on the ground
rain betting down on us
we battle on

when the fightting is over
there is a smell
the smell of death

friends familly and others
laying around you dead
you lay there wishing you were too

in the hospital tent
there is a horrible smell
and crys of the wonded
docters and nurses runnig around
trying to help

they come to you
laying half dead
and tell you your friends are dead
you ask to be killed to spare the pain
but they do not wish for you to be killed

once your healed
its out again
over the top
and at last
BANG BANG
your dead

Fodder for the Politicos and the Generals.
A waste of energetic youth, and then the old and the children too when the war goes badly.
