Europa Burns

1914 Nations bleed in the Great War to end all wars

young men march on towards the frontline

Unknowing of the horrors to come

Europa burns

1916, young men fight on

Most of them gone in the western campaign

Count the dead and justify

That nothing has been gained

Mass the troops for another push

A sacrifice to the rain of steel

As Europa burns

1918, young men are gone

Horribly maimed in no-mans land

Trenches are filled with blood of the dead

Human waste of world war one
