| Kill! |
| Here I walk down this godless trench where the corpses sink forever into
|
| shallow marshy grounds
|
| I can’t remember confronting these extreme forms of violence
|
| Knee-deep in mud, where skies weep leaden tears and blood
|
| It’s hard to breathe within this thick cloak of sulfurous mist conjuring
|
| slaughtering soldiers into sickening silhouettes
|
| From this forsaken battlefield no soul can be dismissed
|
| As if the devil is in charge, giving orders from the depths of the abyss
|
| Goddamn! |
| It’s coming hard, fire fight and waves of bombardments blowing soil,
|
| bone and flesh apart
|
| Running to survive maybe the last private still alive
|
| Suddenly it stops. |
| I turn and see no enemy. |
| there’s nothing behind me!
|
| I can’t believe my eyes. |
| I can’t believe what I see
|
| A timeless, frozen scenery where nature stands still!
|
| Except for me!
|
| So strange to see a still image of this infernal reality
|
| Staring at shrapnel and bullets with an incomplete journey
|
| When suicide burdens my mind, I’m startled by a horrible screaming from behind,
|
| luring me to a spot where a friend of my platoon walked into an ambush,
|
| he screamed: «please kill me! |
| Charlie’s coming soon!»
|
| My 1911 is too loud, that’s why I reach for the knife
|
| Then, again, hesitation! |
| I cannot take his life!
|
| Goddamned fucking gooks! |
| He’s captured by the enemy
|
| Dragged away for days of torture, screaming these last words at me
|
| «You son of a whore should be terrified! |
| In this hell I’ll wait for you!»
|
| And right before I step on that mine I ask myself: «did he just spoke the truth?
|
| Briefly I comprehend, all this time I was damned
|
| His grudge keeps me in hell for eternity
|
| Every time I die he waits for me
|
| This is my destiny |
