The Fallen

For Remembrance day, a look back at war, and a glance at present wars.

The Fallen

Bombs fall, soldiers shoot, people die
This is remembrance, this is the war
Death raining down from the sky
Across the lands, upon the shore

Four horseman ride across the land
Conquest, war, famine and death
Tidal wave breaks across the sand
Laments in the wind a dying breath

This grief is a wound of burning pain
A darkening cloud across the void
A cloudburst of tears fall like rain
World at war, the world destroyed

Remember the fallen, mourn the dead
Sound the last trump, end bloodshed
