Sitting in a bunker,
waiting for the captain's call
overwhelmed by the confusion of it all.
A brother falls beside me,
there's a wounded at my feet
I hear the general call,
"We've lost we must retreat!"

Oh why, why do we even try?
I stand here on this battlefield and cry
for my friends, who had to die, oh why?

What are we shooting at?
These men like you and me
The child of one we killed cries,
"Why'd they kill daddy?"
All that lies between our souls
is a bloody no-man's land
Why can't we throw our weapons down
and take eachother's hand?
