The fallen soldier

Fallen soldier all alone

Fallen soldier far from home

Trickling down his face a tear,

Forgetting how it feels to fear

Death and all its fate and glory

Now it’s  hear, no need to worry.

 

Fallen soldier all alone

Fallen soldier far from home

He’s one of those they’ll all forget;

The life he lived, the goals he set,

The ones he loved, the ones who wait

To see his nearly forgotten face.

 

Fallen soldier all alone

Fallen soldier far from home

Now breathing’s just a waste of breath

And living’s just a waste  of death

As he searches for a new address;

A brand new home free of loneliness.

 

Fallen soldier all alone

Fallen soldier far from home

Lying motionless on the ground,

The battle raging all around.

For now he is not all alone

This fallen soldier is welcomed home.
