Yes I conquered these woods in the fall Me wounded Comrades falling by my side-Dying in my arms Again and again we ****** ourselves against them like a wave against sand Weaving through the trees We ran out of bullets and had to use knives Out numbered by a margin legends are made of Being stabbed or shot always somewhere non-vital Gasping but never crying at the pain The dead leaves under us with their own sharp gasp Then I was called to dinner Throwing Pellet gun and Beer can grenades aside I ran home Yes As a child I conquered these woods in the fall

The Conquerer
Yes I conquered these woods in the fall Me wounded Comrades falling by my side-Dying in my arms Again and again we ****** ourselves against them like a wave against sand Weaving through the trees We ran out of bullets and had to use knives Out numbered by a margin legends are made of Being stabbed or shot always somewhere non-vital Gasping but never crying at the pain The dead leaves under us with their own sharp gasp Then I was called to dinner Throwing Pellet gun and Beer can grenades aside I ran home Yes As a child I conquered these woods in the fall
