Squirting mud and exploding tanks Corpses strewn over a loamy field Screaming wounded - Streams of blood Guts, eyes, teeth trampled into the dust Dirty holes full of greedy rats Trenches filled with water and ammunition Wood crosses with illegible names Bare-dead trees, waiting ravens Ripped - Torn Mutilated bodies Mud - sh** Cover the battlefield Steel helmets In the barbed wire Fog - Rain Endless nightmare Minutes like hours - Awaiting the end Deadly silence - Silence before storm Covered soldiers - Bearing the mark of d**h Like a tornado the fight breaks loose Hundreds of warriors in a big a**ault
Man against man, merciless slaughter Who survives wishes he was dead Bloody bayonets on broken rifles Innerved doctors operating without a rest Innocent women and children dying for nothing Years are gone since the last battle Veterans - Old, sitting in wheelchairs Eyes that say so many words But the lips are closed Still the landscape is marked by the war Old cannons - Big holes in the ground Burned-out bunkers rotting trees A flower growing through a rusty helmet Millions of crosses Over the whole world Countless witnesses To a senseless war Silent crying To the government Just a word: "WHY?"
