About Home

The cold now descends on the fields once again
The terror fades away like the light on the sand
A battle has been fought, one at the time
A battalion destroyed, a division demised
At night they materialize
And they die time after time

The wave eats a ship, sometimes belly up
Sometimes bow or stern, propellers at full stop
The light is dim and when it returns
We rush out our bunks and we smell the burn
When the shell hits we sink to our graves
Like memories once made

We march on like soldiers always do
We pretend we do not care, and tend not to despair
And all along the way, we listen and do not say

What we think, what we feel, and that our wounds won't heal
We curse our misfortune for the mines they conceal
We think about each other, we talk about the pain
But I think about home and now I'm dying in the rain
