For I Have Seen War
Author's name withheld by request


Foreboding envelops me
Again I look into the abyss
Thunder and lightning approach
Time stops, the fighting begins

Lead and metal shred the air
Splintering trees and piercing flesh
We take the lives of others
While waiting for ours to be taken

I hear the screams of foes
I hear the screams of friends
We overstep the dead
To try to help the wounded

The chaos ends in terrible silence
Death surrounds the survivors
We look to see who is gone
Wondering why we're still here

I no longer remember who I was
Everything before has vanished
Everything to come will be suspect
For I have seen war
