Blank look on a sea of faces
Trying hard to ignore the world
And don't look into their eyes
For you invade their minds
...
The dead the dying, the disenchanted
All around they look and stare
Those who sent them into battle
Close there eyes and no longer care
...
The young man he had wandered many a mile and more
Cross foreign lands, and countless seas, to reach a distant shore
Driven by the hope's he held implanted as they'd been
Deep within the wickerwork of life's eternal dream
...
The past, a dark and foreboding place
Memories clouded by the mists of time
I look back and wonder at what could have been
If a change of step, a path or hill to climb
...
