The Soul
The Soul will rise like a phoenix,
The body will get cold.
The breath will stop,
And the stories will never be told.
How the war began with the sound of fire,
And ended by the shedding a river of blood and resting the bodies in the funeral pyre.
And the soul will rise like a phoenix and never be old,
But the bodies will never rise and ever be cold.
