Heinous Corpus

Fields fallow since the war
Morbid children stride toward
A husk of life that's shucked and burned
As this heinous corpus learned
At the brink of hell

Born a cog in the kingdom's wheel
Bred to fight and kill afield
Naively found this destiny
Now on foreign soil you bleed
At the brink of hell

The victorious flag unveils
As countless victims lie impaled
For whom they died of no concern
As this heinous corpus learned
At the brink of hell

Infernal war
How hard we fell
You're such a knave
They'll never tell

Eternal war
How hard we fell
A heinous fate
Youthful infidel
