Prompt / Lyrics
Born of a promise, a loyal son, He took the oath, the war begun. A mother wept while prayers were said, A father bowed, his eyes gone red. The bugle cried, the rifles sang, He marched to war, where echoes rang. He thought of home, his daughter’s face, While thunder roared through death’s embrace. What did this war accomplish, why? I killed for peace and watched it die. I chose this path, now hear their screams. They haunt my nights and steal my dreams. His hands bore steel, his faith held fast, He dreamed the fight would bring peace last. Yet bodies fell, both friend and foe, And mercy seemed too far to know. A whisper came through smoke and bone, “What good is war when hearts atone?” He saw the truth beneath despair, The ghost of peace he couldn’t bear. What did this war accomplish, why? I killed for peace and watched it die. I chose this path, now hear their screams. They haunt my nights and steal my dreams. He prayed, “O Lord, forgive my hand, I fought for home, not blood nor land.” His tears fell hard on dirt and flame, No victor left to claim his name. The battle stilled, the silence deep, His soul returned where loved ones weep. The war was done, his spirit fair, A broken man with soldier’s prayer. What did this war accomplish, why? I killed for peace and watched it die. I chose this path, now hear their screams. They haunt my nights and steal my dreams. What did this war accomplish, why? I killed for peace and watched it die. I chose this path, now hear their screams. They haunt my nights and steal my dreams. They haunt my nights and steal my dreams.
