• Bombs bursting,
    Blood leaking,
    Bodies falling

    I’m detached from reality
    Everything seems so far away

    Watching people dying
    Seeing the red rivers flowing
    I wonder how I’ve been surviving

    When I am able to fall asleep
    The graveyards without headstones
    Haunt all of my dreams
    Bodies crawling, frightened screaming
    It’s all too much to bear

    Even when I am not fighting
    I still think war is Hell
    Nothing here on Earth
    Tells me this is real

    I’m living off of hope
    Holding onto dreams
    Nothing is right
    Where has all my sanity been?

    Seeing my comrades fall
    I count the causalities;
    1,2,3,4
    Before I can even breathe

    “God, please let me be alright
    Please let me live for one more day”
    Even surviving ‘till tomorrow
    Gives me a need to pray

    I look into his eyes
    Frightened, stiff, defiant
    Afraid to kill me
    But if he does nothing, I will take his life

    How did I live this long?
    What brought me here today?
    The only way I’ll ever know
    Is if I survive just one more day
