The Dead Are the Lucky ones

Battle lines are clearly drawn
The sun is waiting for the dawn
A hush falls on those gathered here
Before hell falls and confirms their fears

Shadows move in the twilight
Powder burns the end of the night
A smokey fog and bullets fly
The brave bleed, fight and die

Now I hold a bloody hand
And I say a prayer with a dying man
I overhear a soldier say
To another on his grave

The dead are the lucky ones
The dead are the lucky ones
The dead are the lucky ones
Rest in peace

As the sun sinks in the earth
It’s another day and another birth
If I looked you in the eye
Would you blink and do you cry?
