she saw it all, she knew it all
or so she thought
hopes and dreams crumble and fall
stared her reflection with such loathescarred and wounded
from the battle she was bounded
blood stopped rushing
lips that were drought, quiveringshe thought she could do it
she thought she could make it
but YOU raised the white sheet
and now all was lost, every bitshe raised her guns and riffles
she hold tight with those grenades
yet everything was wasted with such baffles
bloodshed forgotten as her will fades-dawn
