Answered the call to war 

The men now march away 

To fight on foreign shores 

Blood has stained our souls 

Delusions now fall away 

Drowning in foxholes 

State of mind untenable 

Life now slips away 

Death has become plentiful 

We lie in silent tombs 

Body now rots away 

By war we’ve been consumed
