In The Eyes Of A Soldier

Sent far away to a land that is unknown 
So much going on around me, yet I feel so alone 
Talking to my rifle, begging not to be let down 
As I'm crouched in the weeds, trying not to make a sound 
Trying to be strong, yet inside overwhelmed with fear 
Praying for another day as the bombs start dropping near 
As days run together, I start to trail behind 
It had been so long since I slept, I started to lose my mind 
No way to escape, at least not alive 
Many nights I'd sit and wonder, if it be better just to die 
Many years later, I still feel like I'm there 
All the memories of bloodshed, memories of sure terror 
It had to be the worst thing I'd ever seen before 
Through the eyes of a soldier in a world war
