I sit with my sin held out Filth mucks up my hands And still He sits, not leaving "Lord, surely I must do some-" Laughs, touches my hand "Simply be in what I've done" "The Lord has Coffee with Me" Omaha, N-E April the twelfth, 'Twenty-Five I look upon Him He looks back Peace and joy mingle He abides in you [Vine and branch] You abide in Him

On a Napkin
Im in love with the idea of what we would have been I'm living in the past. A time loop that doesn't end or begin. Stuck with these feelings That just wont leave. Should have keep the walls up To keep you out I should keep my armor on. For your silver tongue pierced my skin. Leaving a pink mist behind. Of where my heart use to be. Now I'm left picking up the pieces As a faceless soldiers in Omaha Beach.

Past
Gloomy skies line the beaches Treacherous waves battering the landing crafts Young soldiers getting sick sea in the swells But their fate is written in front of them Omaha, Normandy, Gold, Juno and Sword Beach The day, June 6, 1944 Bullets flying over their heads Whizzing by in deafening silence One soldier is killed, then the next one They hit the beach hard Operation Overlord is in full swing 156,000 soldiers invade the sands Duty, devotion and determination Hell is about to be unleashed Machine gun nests attack Mowing down the enemy that invade them Strike them with hot metal bullets into blood soaked seas The smell of war is everywhere and time slowed to a ticking second hand Fellow soldiers killed in front of you No time to think but you have to move on **** the enemy, **** the enemy The beaches turn crimson with the fallen Can not turn back The chaos surrounds you with a deadly grip Six days of heavy fighting to unite the beach front 10,000 wounded, over 4,000 dead Sacrifices of so many on the day the bullets hit the beach
