1917
All is dark where once was light,
As I travel through this hellish night
Woven by spirits of foul and evil might
Seeking the end of every soothing sight.
-
Across the ever turmolt land
I wander far in search of thee
To know that you still stand
Among the living and the free.
-
Down they fall and down they fall.
Ever seeking the life of men
Bringing fate to one and all
These metal creatures made by men.
-
They slam and roar, slam and roar
Bringing fear to one and all
Shaking earth and heaven's door
Yet fear they more when silence falls
-
Now they must and now they come
Armed with deepest hellish fire
Over the top they must come
To cross through grave and razor wire.
-
Passed away and passed away
Every man, and beast, and child
Ever lost in graves they lay
Feasted on by the savage and wild.
-
Search I must and search I will
