The Killing is Faceless

Bombardments pulverising trenches

Soldiers ripped to pieces

Or buried underneath the earth

All must die ‒ the killing is faceless

Hammering the enemy

Heavy casualties

Clinging to a death trap

Never cease fire

Continuous assaults

Artillery bombardments

Infantry shock tactics

Artillery positions

Firing down the hill

Heading for disaster

Marching on and on

Through an endless field of craters

The shelling remains relentless

Human remains hanging in tree branches

Fighting in fortified graveyards

All must die ‒ the killing is faceless

Stormtroopers lead the attack

Thrown into combat, no turning back

Flamethrowers clear the trenches

Fight for your country, die without glory

Struggling onward wade through mud

No breakthrough, counter attack

Mission impossible, all hope is lost

Fight for your country, die without glory
