Echoes of war

In the heart of the battle where bullets rain like tears Soldiers clutch their memories fighting back their fears The echo of war the cry of the brave In the midst of chaos it's their souls they save Guns roaring loud the earth shakes beneath A soldier closes his eyes breathes deep unsheathes Images of home so vivid and clear Amidst the storm of metal it's the silence they hear For a moment in the bullet hail Their hearts sail home on a nostalgic gale The green of the fields the warmth of the sun In their minds they're running where their life had begun The laughter of loved ones the comfort of home Gives them strength to stand in the fray they're not alone Amidst the thunder of war in the heart's quiet plea Home is the anchor that sets them free So they fight on with courage untold Carrying home in their hearts their most precious gold
