Minefield

All await the signal

The dead of night

Regiments rise up

To storm before light

Out of the trenches

Run into the black

Anxious the many

That will never come back

Zig zagging soldiers

Bayonets on

Onward to victory

Before the dawn

Murderous crossfire

Bright shining flares

Machine guns mowing

Troops in despair

Crawling through barbed wire

Into no-man's land

Soil soaked in blood

The crying of men

Terror unveiling

In between the lines

They scream mutilated

Detonating mines

Trapped in this minefield

Invisible death

Desolate wasteland

Corpses without heads

Mounted leftovers

Bones splintered, they lie

Distant explosions

Herald how all die
