At First Light

Deep within entrenchments
The orders are revealed
A final push impending
Encoded messages have been received
At first light
Fires of the enemy dead will burn bright
If in mourning they choose we die
Zero hour at first light
The waiting time is over
No final night before
Once more into action
Embrace the storm — oncoming for all
Standing
At the edge
Allegiances
Now pledged forever
Orders — unquestionable
All rank and file expendable
The frozen dawn emerges
Let the battle now commence
None surrendered through last night
Zero hour approaching
At first light
Fires of the enemy dead will burn bright
If in mourning they choose we die
Zero hour approaching
