Battlefield Orphans

We loaf around the fireplace

War-weary and calm

We watch the sunrise motionless

The war has been won

[repeat]

We hear melodies unsung

Mesmerized...

We survived - but why?

A new beginning - for what?

Too cooled down to move

We just stare and lay back to die

The holocaust is over - victory

All is dead - burnt debris

Everlasting silence - we reached peace of mind

We just stare and lay back to die
