The guns sing

War is hell

It has been 60 days

since I've been in this trench

There are many dead men,besides me

One man is giving off an eerie stare

Everybody has stopped firing,their weapons

for now,anyways

Day 61,there are men

going to the no-man land

We are getting ready to fire our weapons

at our opponents

The sounds of gunfire are deafening

The screams of those in pain

are just as bad

It has been 12 hours now

12 hours of blood-curdling screams

and the loud booming sound of guns

I am covered in my fallen brothers' blood

Along with my tears

The guns,start to sing again

as others,reload their weapons

As for me, I'm crying over my fallen comrades

These guns will sing forever

I thought in my head

There will be a lot of blood

screams in pain

amputations and death

Even when you think,the war will be over

The guns will sing forever.
