i do not need to mention

i do not need to mention what was said
about the battle that our fathers fought
so many of our kindred left for dead

those were the moments of the greatest dread
when from above the vultures swooped and sought
i do not need to mention what was said

out masters told us that we needed bread
but as we were the losers we'd get naught
so many of our kindred left for dead

the so-called hero was the swiftest sped
not even time to be hurt or distraught
i do not need to mention what was said

the word once written was not ever read
a bitter lesson we have now been taught
so many of our kindred left for dead

the hardest would was given to the head
it shook out every vestige of good thought
i do not need to mention what was said
so many of our kindred left for dead
