The Battlefield's Lament

The ground is painted in sorrow's hue

The air is thick with a heavy truth

Echoes of cries from hearts torn apart

The tragedy of war breaks every heart

Oh the battlefield whispers in the night

Of dreams shattered and fading light

No victors here just tears that fall

In the tragedy of war we lose it all

The sun sets low on a scarred domain

A silent witness to endless pain

Flags wave high but at what cost

In every victory so much is lost

A mother's tears a lover's plea

The pain runs deep as far as we see

No anthem sung can heal this grief

The tragedy of war steals all relief

Oh the battlefield whispers in the night

Of dreams shattered and fading light

No victors here just tears that fall

In the tragedy of war we lose it all

Let us lay down the weapons we bear

Replace the chaos with love and care

For in the ashes of all that's destroyed

A hope for peace must fill the void
