I heard my friend cry and he sank to his knees
caughing blood as he screamed for his mother.
I fell by his side and that's how we died,
clinging like kids to each other.
I layed in the mud and the guts and the blood
and I wept as his body grew colder..

The shells jumped through the smoke
add into the sand that the blood now had soaked
she collapsed with a flag in her hand
a flag white as snow..
