Breezes blowing in the night

Distant noises, out of sight

Darkness blinds all those who see

Who sought escape and fought to flee

"Through the trees, on past the stream

Feeling lonely, it may seem

But turn my back to turn my head

Deep paranoia in my stead"

This soldier's fists both shake and twist

The handle of his gun

He duly missed and had not wist

The presence of the sun

Breezes blowing in the night

Distant flash, impending fright

Darkness mends their evil ways

For all who travel, all who stay

"Past the stream, on through the trail

My lonliness seemed to prevail

But in the night's dead pitch of black

I was shot down from the back"

This soldier's blood mixed with the mud

Upon a foreign ground

He did not feign the scarlet rain

Nor utter any sound

Breezes blowing 'fore the noon

Distant smoke fades like the moon

Darkness decamps with the night

The sun shines with grave rays of light 

"On through the trail, I reached the field

But this is where my fate is sealed

The bloody stream, flowing red

Before I know it, I'll be dead"
