In the unforgiving heat
On hostile ground
Both sides thinking
We
Are
Right

They fight for what they believe in
Or because they have no choice
Most too young to know the difference
All too young to die

The silence apprehensive
But the noise brings Death
Explosions all around them
Permanent Dusk covers the land

Blinding fire in their eyes
Deafening screams in their ears

Empty darkness in their souls

A nightmare in the sand
