A Soldier's Dream


Picture a world of pain and woe,
Where fires burn through flesh.
Picture a world  where no man would go
Where bodies rot on wire mesh

Picture a world of the cruelest torment
Where men spiral in their deepest fear.
Picture a world of evil intent
I'd rather be there than here

  1. And when this heart & flesh shall fail
    And mortal life shall cease
    I shall possess within the vail
    A life of joy and peace

  2. And when he gets to the White Gate
    To St Peter he will tell:
    One more soldier reporting for duty Sir
    I've served my time in hell.
