Trenches - Hope For The Dying

He covers his face

As the rain starts pouring down

Another night alone

Broke and in the cold

He never imagined his life would be this way

Crawling through the trenches fighting to live another day

She thought their love was ever true

The night she let him in

He took away her purity

And never called again

And now her body grows

In unfamiliar ways

He left her in the trenches

She’s counting down the days

Crawling through

These trenches surrounding

With miles ahead

No ending in sight

Dragging through

Net of thorns above, below

All enduring

The trenches of life

Draining what little strength is left

Heavier as you go

Lessening the load

Seems impossible

No, this doesn’t have to end you

You can endure you can survive

Tragedies are meant for overcoming

We take the lows with the highs
