Standing still in a lonely chaos
Surrounded by my bullet friends
It seems so quiet in the lonely chaos
I hope this silence never ends
Around me in my lonely chaos
My happy comrades fall
Killed within my lonely chaos
Once were strong and tall
But now inside my lonely chaos
My head begins to groan
And there outside my lonely chaos
I hear my tommy moan
He's lying in his lonely chaos
Withered and in pain
And then somewhere in my lonely chaos
The battle shatters my brain
Because there in their lonely chaos
Are others like my son
And like me inside my lonely chaos
They feel no urge to run
Away from their lonely chaos
Away from battle cries
And find a place where lonely chaos
No longer haunts their eyes
I hope within my lonely chaos
I'll find a place to go
When I tire of lonely chaos
Back reality will flow
The crashes
The shells
The bullets
The guns
The wounded
The dying
The deaths
Back it all comes
They're dying
They're crying
With pain and grief
And one day all their suffering
You'll remember with a wreath
