Battle of Bastogne

A shadowy glimpse, that moves forth
Bunkered beneath the night sky
Occasional shots that keep them alert
Waiting for their time to die
They fear, they pray, then kill, a soldiers war
They fear, they pray, then kill, never defy
They fear, they pray, then kill, marching on
They fear, they pray, then kill, until they die
Blood soaked trench, with frozen ground
This battle won't be forgotten
With each man killed, comes honor and pay to their families that are now broken
The souls that rise from beneath the ash
Their grave covered bodies from the mortar attacks
Moving forward, fueled by hell and hate
Piercing blow of a bullet seals another's fate
Decimate the enemy Life is their cost
Casualties of war Everyman is lost
One town to be taken Victory be known
But pointless to the dead This battle of Bastogne
Limited ammo with enemy near firing cannons, recruits now fear Exploding trees that splinter the ground the soldiers push to take this town
Fear, Death, and horror Blood, sweat, and tears
Memories, that will last Til death, ends their years
