Few walk through this valley of death Most fall before the line All bodies are treated the same Lifeless bones lost in time Tanks lay there like slain beasts Their metal left to rust Battle remains are bleached in the sun Slowly turning to dust Beneath a sky that never darkens We fought across the top of hell Until only two were left to fight We shook the ground and fell Upon this withered earth Blood dries with the dust and blows away Hot winds cleansing a desert Sounds of battle fade to silence Maybe the war goes on below A life lay injured and dying in the field An ancient who has survived A choice to run or save the enemy Can I leave him to die? A tale from another time He tells of a future war When they drove us into space And claimed the earth for their own Ending that war ends this one too Ancients fight by my side Somewhere in time they will join me My only chance to make it home alive Beneath a sky that never darkens We fought across the top of hell Until only two were left to fight We shook the ground and fell Upon this withered earth Upon this withered earth Upon this withered earth Upon this withered earth Upon this withered earth Upon this withered earth Upon this withered earth
