The Guns Called Me Back Again

Shadows lengthening

95 steps I'm taking

With every step I'm longing

For the luck to keep on living

The drum calls me back again

To my senses

Filled with shame

I wish this night

Would never end

And on no-man's land

The sun would not rise again

There was laughing, and I could not laugh

There was singing, and I could not sing

The big guns called me back again

I hear voices singing

I hear the guns beginning

Far off, far away

I hear the guns again
