A Hellish display of existence surrounds
Humanity shown at its worst
Wading through shit and human remains
There is no glory in this
Bodies are swollen by the onset of death
The stench is too much to bear
Orders are given to march forward still
"Oh God, I just wish this would end!"
Men strewn about at the edge of the trench
Shot down before they could move
Their blood has rushed out, it collects in the pit
A river of violence runs red
Rats feasting on the remains of the dead
A vision I cant comprehend
Five men are seen on the scarred battlefield
Trapped in a barbed-wire fence
They scream out in pain for the mercy of God
Grief-stricken cries of the weak
My squad mates approach them with their rifles drawn
And answer their prayers in lead
I have seen the worst of man
A slaughter equal to none
Repulsive, worthless acts of war
Where is the honor in this?
We press onward to the next group of dead
More ravaged and torn than the last
My stomach it churns at the sight of my friend
Split in half at the waist
One single shot goes off from the right
I feel the blood on my face
A headless body now drops to the ground
The gun still clenched in its hand
