Dark night

Do you hear?.. The birds… they’re gone now Yeah. So it’s just us. Alone In our eyes — the reflection of cold distant lights Drones circle above us like shadows in flight Through the gaps in the treetops, the moon starts to glow Explosions far off — the war’s moving slow Side by side in the leaves, we lie hidden and still Dark red blood on our lips, drying up as we lie still It’s an endless dark night outside And no one can save us now Pulse grows weak. Eyes go blind Goodbye, brother — I think it’s my time Brother… just a sip of water Here — hold on Forgive me, bro, if I ever Was too sharp, too cold, when things were hard Remember — laughing till we cried by the fire? Now look — we won’t even see the morning light I hear your voice through the roar of the guns You whisper: “Brother, don’t forget our days.” I think of home — the silence waiting for us there Mom’s letters… the smell of morning bread Breath gets rarer. Dawn stays far away I’d give anything for just one more day It’s an endless dark night outside And no one can save us now Pulse grows weak. Eyes go blind Goodbye, brother — it’s my time now No one can save us now Goodbye, brother
