He tramps the trenches
Trenches day and night
Night terrors bring him down
Down to lay amongst the dead

Dead children run laughing
Laughing at the condemned
Condemned dictator weeping
Weeping at his torment

Torment forever - never forgiven
Forgiven soldiers dance at his demise
Demise of the man who would rise
Rise from the trenches to the skies

Skies of blue he would never see
See only the dead for they were free
Free to love their Creator daily
Daily he tramped the trenches
