Death's Sweet Sublime Kiss

Walking with my infantry at night.

Trying to liberate countries in sight.

Staying awake with all my might.

Waiting for the first sign of daylight.

A gunshot is the first sound.

My comrade's bodies litter the ground.

I load my riffle for the final round.

A bullet pierces through my chest.

Survival will be the final test.

Watching the planes fly above me in the sky.

I'll watch them as I slowly die.

I feel blood on my hand.

Time slips by like grains of sand.

As I lay alone in this furan land.

My life is the enemy's demand.

As I lay on the cold damp grass. In the sky the airplanes pass

The sound brings back memories, but alas. I know this sound will be my last.

I try to move but find I cannot, so I think about the joys that life has brought.

Yet, when I think of things I sought, has my life been amounted naught?

The sunlight brings a brand new day.

Yet. Here alone on the grass I lay.

Ding I know there's no way I can live to see another day.

Watching the planes fly above me in the sky,

I'll watch them as I slowly die.

My one regret is this:

To leave behind the one I'll miss.

I think of him as I slowly reminisce.

As I accept deaths sweet sublime kiss.
