When We Were Soldiers

When we were soldiers
We fought so well
Holding the line
We fought like hell
Some were left standing
And others fell
Who got the better
None can tell
By fire and steel
Our world is red
All who were unlucky
The endless stare
They lay unburied
Their breath now stole
We lost our parts
We lost our whole
Some were left standing
And others fell
Who got the better
None can tell
Nights I dream of you
And dawns unkind
I lost more
Than I could find
