Though I am no longer pointed at the opposing army

My bayonet is still slashing

It cuts apart the souls around me

We trudge through the ash-covered streets

I can feel the sorrow of the gray men

They watch their hometown get engulfed by flames

Red embers drop from the sky like snow

They twist around as if stuck in dance

This could be the end of our army

All is lost

First our spirit,

Then our city,

And finally the war

This is the end

My barrel is crusted with dirt and blood

The euphoria of battle has long since worn off

Though the light has faded from our eyes

A burning passion for revenge lights in my heart
