I heard the roar of the engines........
...........the hum of the tires........
Felt the hot sun on my back........
......cold rain on my face.......
The clatter of machine guns........
...firing..........firing........
Saw the anguish of pain leave a boys face.........
........as he slipped into eternity...........
I saw the ghastly cloud of death.....
.....leave blood on the moon......
Heard the last breath escape in dying...........
Felt the struggle of life...........
........suddenly cease.......
Felt the warmth of life replace.......
.........by the cold of the dead........
As my life turned to anger.......I felt........
..........the ghastly hand of death.......
........as it captured my soul.......
When I was young........
