Fallen Soldiers

like fallen soldiers
we're all defeated
face down, trampled, forgotten
scattered on the ground
lost in the mud
here we'll lie forever

will I make it back to you
at the end of this
back to you as I am
I pray, I hope
I'll write it in blood
and seal it with this kiss

like dying soldiers
there are no more enemies
the outcome of all our battles
doesn't make a difference
for we're all just fallen soldiers
left to live to die to rot

selfish thoughts of a dying man
lying in a ditch
after killing and killing
how are we any better
when nothing's truly learned
whilst dying in that ditch

your words of hope
thats all they are
when it comes to the end
for in the end
it all comes down to
how strong I really am

like fallen soldiers
we're all defeated
leave us where we lie
we are weak and battered
bruised, yet breathing
this is where we die
