Sixteen Soldiers


Sixteen soldiers
Spread out on a hill
Looking for survivors
Where the dead are burning still

Sixteen soldiers
Going street by street
Searching for the living
In the place where dead men meet

Sixteen soldiers
Sifting through remains
Seeking someone, anyone
With blood still in their veins

Sixteen soldiers
Standing in a row
Staring at an orange sky
It ends today, we know

Black suits, green eyes
Guns up, faces down
Three big flashes
Bullets through the town

One falls, two fall
The ground is in the air
Ashes ashes, we all fall down

Thirteen soldiers
Left to carry on
