Blood red,ashes white,earth

Blood red,ashes white,earth quivers,solders fall. For what? Can you speak? Tell me! Why do many fall at the hands of evil? Why do men fall to their knees, while the grim reaper stands above; instead of them dropping to their knees to rejoice for world peace? A soldier on his knee cries to the heavens",god I have not always been gentle; unfortunately, I have done my share in this hell, but if I shall pass,please, judge me for who I am not what I've become."
