Sitting in the trenches feeling forlorn As the bullets fly amongst the mud and corn In these fields that once were quiet and serene Now rages hatred few have ever seen Young boys, not men, barely out of their teens Living off rations of dried beans Have to suffer the fear of life or death each day To take what action may come their way A band of brothers joined at the hip it seems They smell the fear, even in their dreams Not that much sleep comes their way As they try to stay alive to fight another day Boys become men in such a short space of time In amongst the blood and grime Another bullet wings its way by Get down low a voice will cry Another day, another nightmare, when will it end Just a band of boy’s with God their only friend
