Sea of Blood

Slowly I cross this sea
Of pain and hurt
Only to reach the other end
To find more of the same

Gunshots fire from all around
As so many fall to the ground
Bullet proof vests dont always work
When youre in the line of fire

Heads held high
As bodies motionlessly lie
They had died for there country
Which made dying all worth while

Family and friends hear the message
There hero is not coming home
The body was never found
A bodyless casket in the ground

Some come home to heartbreak
Other to open arms
But some dont come home at all
Theyre just another shooting star
That disappeared to soon
