WORDS OF WAR AND LOST FRIENDS

Dusk is falling, night is coming on.
Blood Red Moon Rising, bad omen
Drums in the distance, bugles sad sound
Soldiers called, no more to be found
Watching him walk away, nevermore home
Darkness falling, evil spirits let loose to roam
Words said in helping, never meant to hurt
Heart torn apart, friends are lost, pain and hurt
Supposed to be bright day, Secret to tell
Turned into dark day, no one my Secret to tell
Soldiers gone off to war, once again i send mine to war
my Uncle now gone, once again to fight our wars
Tomorrow my husband, Tomorrow my Husband will go to war
Once again, i will wait, Once again i will wait
Will my child have a father or will she suffer my fate
Alone again, Alone, all i can do is wait,
No one to talk too, i've driven him away
i've driven him away, no more can at my side he stay
Looking at Bloody Red Moon, now shading to white
my prayers to the gods for my men on this dark night
my love and life i would give, if only to have his love again
my best friend, what will i do, what will i do
Dear God, what will i do with out you.
