When Cannons Fade 



Into the eighth offensive

Frontline reformed

Artillery that never ceased

In overtures of war 



....When cannons fade 



Now the guns are silenced

End of hell storm

The final argument of kings

All earth transformed 



....When cannons fade 



As the silence grows

Steadily replacing

The resonance of thunder

Deep in the soul 



Conscience still remains

Horror - amongst the flames

Ashes keep on falling 



I close my eyes

And even now

The distant memory remains

Of the last laments

To be played 



(When cannons fade)
