Valor
How can we call it honorable?
To be buried in the seas lapse
To let the masses die amongst the sand
And those left behind, they did say
They said he died in valor
Was it though?
Was it valor that marched to the beach
Was it honor that faced the wrath
The light at the end of the tunnels
The one that ended it all
And to draw one last breath
To see not the beach
It's brisk and beautiful glory
But to face the rigid cliffs
To die at the wall of fury
And those that managed
One last look upon the beach
They peered upon a grand horror
The vision they saw was one of doom
The red water and the red sun
Splattered with the blood of thousands
An we still call it valor?
We left them alone
In want and struggle
Their corpses lined the beach
And in memory
We call it valor
