Dead Line

The clock ticks down to the deadline

Standing together, on the frontline

Two worlds that collide

It is time to decide

Have you got what it takes ?

There's no time for fakes

Courage and bravery are required

Even though you feel so tired

The horror of the conflicts dead

Blood and guts have been shed

To lead an assault, on this ground

Shells making a vicious sound !

..............................................

But you are used to them now

And when they cease you will find out how

Tough it is to cross no mans land

Fighting face to face, hand to hand

The constant insanity of it all

Head spinning, you nearly fall

..............................................

Silence finally,  then comes the dread

Machine guns have been fed

Up and over you go

A whistle you blow

Screams and shouts pervade the scene

It is now,  you should get mean

The injured, you hear them cry

Then a pain in the chest, time to die

Lying there in the mud, facing your end

Praying for your family, on you they depend

But now it is time for you to go

They wil always miss you so.
