They were fighting here Living here Enveloped in a life That none have since seen And I work here I watch as they fight My nose drips My eyes water as I see their bodies fall to the ground Their brothers, fathers, best friends die before them. I wade into the shallows of time I push against its thick film But i cannot pass I can do nothing but watch as they fight, suffer, and lose.
