Description
The Killing Fields are Bare(A Soldier Lament)By: Charles Phillips
How I long to march with you again my friends
Once more in the fields
but with you in my mind I shall never be there again
"Draw your sword and prepare for war
Pick up your spears and march"
the words I long to hear so much
But no more can that be me I have lied down my weapons to time
now they lie and rust
my shield is bare and my sword still undrawn
I walk into the fields of battle but only as someone to oversee the event
I shall nolonger be in the fields with you my friends
left to die as a regular man
a shell of the man I once was
the piece of broken equipment that I am
never to grace the fields of war
never to met the end I deserve
I'll probably met my end in my sleep
How I long to march with you again my friends
Once more in the fields
but with you in my mind I shall never be there again
I am the warrior of the home front now.
I am the broken equipment that will be thrown aside in the name of Peace
I am the tools that shall never be touched again.
I am the warrior of the home front.
