Attrition

Marching forward again
Wasted bloodshed, no end
On and on, the fight to gain
On and on, more death awaits

Grinding forward again
Striking blows
Inflicting loss
Wear them all down to dust

Advancing to conquer again
Pointless pursuit, a tragedy of man
Pain and death surrounding all
Who will be the first to fall?

Crawling forward again
And one will break
But who really wins
When there's nothing left but ruin?

Demons of conflict descend, spewing fire
Bolts of death raining their carnage, pounding the earth
Lost souls rise in the smoke-filled skies
Ceaseless crusade of the damned keeps raging on

No help from God
No hope for peace
No end in sight
Death lives on
