Soldiers Soul

A Soldiers soul is a depth unknown

Baring sights most could not behold

Death has been an open door

When soldiers embrace the ways of war

For his soul and eyes have seen

The toll when the trigger is released

Bullets soaring through the air

Each side feeling  waves of dispair

Guarded by barbed wire hope

That tangles men that charge to death

Left to die and the wilderness is fed

Rounds are fired day and night

A soldiers soul prays for respite

When fire stops and death is done

His soul knows that nobody won

A soldiers scars arent always seen

Some he carries very deep

Toils with his tortured soul

From the secret source of death it holds

A soldiers soul is a depth unknown
