War of Attrition
War of attrition
Cruelty by design
A battle waged to demoralize
Resistance was met
More than they could expect
The cost would be paid by both sides
Bodies have been scattered
With chemical decay
Transforming beauty to a no man's land
The ossuary holds
Thousands of the lost
Drifting ember dreams and names long gone
Sometimes it seems
These scars will never heal
The war is done but the ghosts remain
Towns destroyed
Not to be rebuilt
But in those fallow fields, nature thrives
Cruelty by design
A battle waged to demoralize
Resistance was met
More than they could expect
The cost would be paid by both sides
Bodies have been scattered
With chemical decay
Transforming beauty to a no man's land
The ossuary holds
Thousands of the lost
Drifting ember dreams and names long gone
Sometimes it seems
These scars will never heal
The war is done but the ghosts remain
Towns destroyed
Not to be rebuilt
But in those fallow fields, nature thrives
