On the beaches

by tea lady   Aug 14, 2005


Towards the beach they head in their boat
given their guns,is their any hope?
the sound of bombs filling their ears
and in their eyes they begin to fill with tears

hearts pounding as they finally hit the beach
getting shot at before they even land on their feet
dead bodies lying everywhere
for this nothing could prepare

bombs going off all around
trying to avoid death by laying low to the ground
the bodies of people you stood next to on the boat
you see getting blown up,this is too much,how can they cope

peace,what would be wrong with that?
its better than seeing your friends die in combat
more boats arriving at the beach
death is what all these soldiers will meet

~* based on WWII where many died on the beaches at Dunkirk or any other place where soldiers lost their lives,it may not be exact but hey,still bad enough that so many died.oh and there was also a bit based on the ghost of you video by MCR lol*~
