Of Battles Lost and Won
Heavy armoured tanks
On the marshy banks
Roller chains on wheels
Long barreled gun
Mocking the hot sun
Helmeted and booted
Within closet of war
Aim and fire at men
Hapless and puny
Under the same sun
All pray for victory
Hope for victory
In a lost battle
Smouldering ashes cry
Cradling the cold kettle

When The Ashes Cry
"...smoldering ashes cry..." incredible image - a condensation of all wars this is in so few words - Just Bein' Lay A
You are too too kind Respected Madam Allets
Kind hearted Allets
Swallowed the pellets
Raw war I see around
Hard to keep my ground
