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.
