Closed eyes
In an open grave
The one soldier
You could not save
Stains of blood
On your hands
The blood that belonged
To this man
He had a family
He had a wife
Why couldn't you save
This one life
You go to the next in need
It's all you can do
You pray to God
To let this one make it through
You try your best
But you can't save them
You pray that their souls
Rest in peace in Heaven
You mourn for the lost
You rejoice for the living
You wish for the end
To all this killing
You don't know their names
But their faces haunt your dreams
Tears run down their face
Accompanied by silent screams
You blame yourself
For each and every loss
They paid the price of war
The ultimate cost
