part 1: the frontline

they tell me:
“march for glory
‘til white flags are hung!”
“be the blazing banner
parading in the sun!”
“when you storm the ramparts
let your enemies feel
the fury of you and your gun!”

they say:
“when the war is won
we’ll remember your bravery –
your story enshrined
in the halls of history.”
“all you have to do is k!ll at will
‘til you clutch
the torch of victory”

though i wouldn’t choose this path
my direction is clear
i guess a light will shine on me

so i bind my life to the frontline
and pray that all they promised is what i’ll see . .

part 2: fool’s fate

dusk comes early
covers my trench like a veil
skylines exhale
and i draw a final breath of sunset

mud and debris –
the only soldiers who stay
ghosts roam the waste
laying to rest rusted bayonets

will the dust clear?
will the sun shine?
or did i bind my life to a fool’s fate?

and if black’s all that remains
when poppies wither and die
will i light a lonely candle
and burn it to the wick? –
the only flame
fl!ckering in the moonscape?

dust will never clear
sun will never shine
‘cause i bound my life to a fool’s fate

black’s all that remains
when poppies wither and die
so i’ll light a lonely candle
and burn it to the wick –
the only flame
fl!ckering in the moonscape

when the war is over
don’t remember my folly
my story’s a stain
in the halls of history
‘cause anyone can be made
to turn their light
to darkness

they told me:
“march for glory . . . “

part 3: outer light, inner darkness
