Conflagration

Somke on the horizon filters a blood red sun

Distant storms of strife echo as thunderous guns

The kingdom of war still claiming more souls

While remnants of the battle lie unbucted in the cold

Artillery has had its say with black power words

Infantry and cavalry their (truth) from above

Warship guns send their message far offshore

Conflagaration

Defiant and proud

Conflagaration

Death's burning shroud

Feverish prayers whispered with a mouth

Face down in a foxhole with dried blood

Trying to satisfy a code of honour

And where upon my oath I must forever fight!

On war-torn blood drenched hallowed ground

I stand alone gazing after (the) horrifying sounds

Acts of bravery claimed by every war

The ultimate sacrifice doesn't offer us a choice

A growing conflict deep within my pounding heart

A wrenching pain numbed by the droning smart

Who is it created this sleepless hell?

Why are they not here to fight as well?

The gods of war loose their thunderous creed

Is this sacrifice my final deed?

Who has won if nothing has been gained

Conflagaration and death again stake their claim
