Trail of blood, dripping down
Sweat, dust and the frown
Fellows being gunned down
Us soldiers, move on and on
The brown of the chaos
Intense, unfair pathos
In the name of honor, paying costs
Brothers in arms, in a just cause
Seemingly no end in sight
In the fire of the night
Sharing stories of life
Shared pain, no strife
A ray of hope, waiting to ignite
Apparent with progress in sight
In eventual slope of alight
Or, onwards in the journey of the fight
