A Bundle full of Death
By James Bush
War casualties.
::::::::
For every lie
A bundle full of death
For every hesitation
Another group of hearts stop beating
For every turning away
Another gathering of souls
Tumbles into a pit
For every wrong move
The scythe moves closer
To us
And the ones we love
For every lie
A bundle full of death
