Here is another poem I wrote and decided to make it a song. I hear this one as rock (I left my country state of mind!)

Nothing Left to Win

We’ve reached the bridge of sorrow
With a toll we cannot pay
The sweet breath of redemption’s
Washed across the bloody bay

There’ll be no more rejoicing
With teary eyes and dirty hands
The soldiers’ fight is ending here
There’s nothing left to win

Chorus
Soldiers of the sky
Soldiers of the sea
Children of the fire
Where’s your victory
Piles of brick and rubble
Burn across the land
Trails of tears and pain
There’s nothing left to win
Nothing left to win

Hell is shining victory
On this darkened foreign soil
Night has overtaken day
Smoke’s rising from the oil

The soldiers’ hopes are dying
Blood dripping off their skin
The war is finally over
There’s nothing left to win

Chorus
Soldiers of the sky
Soldiers of the sea
Children of the fire
Where’s your victory
Piles of brick and rubble
Burn across the land
Trails of tears and pain
There’s nothing left to win
Nothing left to win

Bridge
Smoke and ashes falling down
Sinners’ saints who can tell
Our darkest day will soon be done
The war is over - no one won

Chorus
Soldiers of the sky
Soldiers of the sea
Children of the fire
Where’s your victory
Piles of brick and rubble
Burn across the land
Trails of tears and pain
There’s nothing left to win
Nothing left to win

Tag
The war is over - no one won
The war is over - no one won
