The Western Front
3/13/03

Here they lie
Strait even rows
Skin, bone, and mangled flesh
Of the western front

Here men weep
For lost innocence
And young boys cry
For the need to age

Here each step filled with caution and fear
For who knows where death lies?
And each movement filled with sorrow
For now many spirits rise

Here victims close their eyes
And still see lights and chaos
Victims open them again
And still see a land torn

Here no longer does beauty rest
And peace no longer reality
No longer a sight worth seeing
Feeling no longer worth experiencing

Here they lie
Strait even rows
Stone after white stone
Of the western front
