As The Cannons Fade - Thanatos

As the cannons fade and the bodies are counted

Another hill, another mountain

This pointless routine of our so-called war machine

Don’t dare to question why so many have died

These nights last forever, time is passing by

The sound of distant gunfire, breaks the silence of the night

As daytime comes and the sun starts to burn

The enemies coming with their backs to the sun

But yet they’re too far off to take them on

This cat and mouse game goes on and on

Take your positions and lay down low

Hold your fire until you see their eyes glow

Tired of waiting a comrade storms the hill

Too late to hold him back, as we watch him being killed

No more plan or strategy, tactics thrown overboard

Another senseless chapter in this godforsaken war

Going nowhere fast, how much longer can we last

It might be our turn when the sun sets in the west

Our chances of survival become smaller by the day

We’re ordered to keep fighting, there is no other way

The only way out of this never-ending hell

Is to storm that goddamned hill and arrange my own farewell

As the cannons fade

The bodies are counted

And the troops march on

As the cannons fade

The troops march on

The troops of doom
