PAYMENT DAY

The clock in the north,

Silent and still,

Never more will it ring,

Stay still on the hill

The war is over

They shout and they cheer,

Happiness grows louder,

Nothing left to fear

But at what cost,

Are the deaths paid?

Nothing for loved ones,

They have been betrayed

Now they lie there,

In the dark, muddy ground,

Nothing to be said,

Not a single sound.

Blood for Blood,

Lies for Lies,

They all fell fighting,

Behind the enemy lines

A world of pain,

A world of suffering,

A world of death,

A world of crying

Now they must lie,

The warriors of war,

For the next great battle

The next great war
