Thirty to seconds till it all ends But I'm still there to fight I've lost many a man and friend But that won't diminish my might Though I wait for hell to come I know that everything is alright Its been hard for my wife I know She but we still keep in touch I write her letters and share my grief And everytime it hurts so much. I realize time is running out I'm on the 'line' so I'll keep this brief 'I joined with my friends to see the sights And burn down Berlin's towers Adventure and fun rolled in one Deception uncovered as I cower Bullets hit like scores at my men My command is fading fast Artillery striking like thundershowers My life is a thing of the past But I will keep on going To stop this war for good So my children and their children Won't have to fight in war as I did. So if this letter is not soaked with blood I would like you to understand And pass it down as an heirloom So everyone can comprehend I'm writing my last words as I hear crout footsteps The soft echo causes more alarm than I can admit
I really like it . Good work . It's been 85 years that WWI ended, some things have changed, but war is still horrible.
Slightly off topic : WWI : 10 000 000 casualties WWII : 55 000 000 casualties Korean War : About 325 000 (MIA and Captured data were maybe mixed). Vietnam War : 5 000 000 casualties Civilians and military.
you really created an atmosphere... and that's a very important thing to do... oh and, do you like war movies? war stories? because it sounds as though you have an interest in the subject...
I do a have a fascination with war history. My brother is pretty much obsessed with it, but do like war stuff. That was just for the imagery, which I'm glad you noticed! My main goal was to get across the emotions and grief of the soldier in his final moments of life.
