Battlefield Orphans


We loaf around the fireplace
war-weary and calm
we watch the sunrise motionless
the war has been won
(repeat)
We hear melodies unsung
mesmerized...
We survived - but why?
a new beginning - for what?
too cooled down to move
we just stare and lay back to die
The holocaust is over - victory
all is dead - burnt debris
everlasting silence - we reached peace of mind
we just stare and lay back to die
