Puddles of blood
Soaking into the ground,
The one survivor
Never to be found.
Taken by the enemy,
No hope left to spare,
Mercilessly cut
Into despair.

And the regiment beaten,
The sole survivor still unbeaten.

As the people passed by.
Asleep the children went,
Crying in their beds.
As the people went into the light outside,
Sadness took flight.

But I can withstand it.
As people see my hill
And help me grow,
I’ll be all right.
