• Soldiers on both sides
    Citizens at heart
    Their families and children
    With whom they had to part

    To fight a useless war
    Senseless in the destruction
    Caused by a few hot heads
    In war rooms apart

    Facing every day
    With a terrified bravery
    Risking their lives
    For a gallant cause?

    Shooting and bombing
    For some kind of peace
    Tearing up lives
    For the greater good.

    Those who suffer
    Don’t care for bravery
    Don’t care for gallantry
    Nor for honour

    To die for their country
    Is one thing
    To die for the greed of a few men
    Is entirely another

    Should they end this
    Way of stupid senseless death
    Or will it just be known as
    A gallant death?
