One by one, they fell

I followed the army
Right into war
I cleaned their wounds
I watched the bullets soar
The gunshots pierced my ears
And made them bleed
I drowned in their aching screams.
These men were carved from stone,
And I was there to see them break.
I was there, when they failed, 
I watched, as their bodies fell
Their armor useless
Theirs shields bent 
One by one 
They fell
