Etched in his mind, The internal war, Haemorrhaging blood, Hidden once more, Slowly he’s dying, His body too weak, Paralysed lips, Unable to speak, Traumatic life, Slipping away, His heavy soul, Aching today. He witnessed it all, The burden unseen, Screaming their names, Tortured in dream, His cries settle, His memory fades, Wiping the tears, For former comrades. (Repeat)

The Silent War
Etched in his mind, The internal war, Haemorrhaging blood, Hidden once more, Slowly he’s dying, His body too weak, Paralysed lips, Unable to speak, Traumatic life, Slipping away, His heavy soul, Aching today. He witnessed it all, The burden unseen, Screaming their names, Tortured in dream, His cries settle, His memory fades, Wiping the tears, For former comrades. (Repeat)
For all the soldiers alive today, we will remember them too.
