Posted by Russell Robison on 4/15/2007, 8:35 pm, in reply to "Generations" There was no retreat attempted Not one step back was taken We cut the kid in half that day No time to reconsider The look upon our faces So much for young and foolish We were all in it together The quiet found at battles end

River War
No quarter given there
Just a mutual exchange between
Two countries on a tear
As each side spoke hard and clear
Won’t speak of conversations
Held inside that world of fear
There was nothing else to do
He had us made, and his grenade
Was aimed at those we knew
No time to circumvent
We did just what we had to do
In that land of discontent
Said it was best to let it be
I tried to keep from thinking
What was happening to me
On that day the river bled
There are far too many faces etched
Inside our souls instead
As each day we shared the load
‘Until the end, I’m here my friend’
Indeed that was our code
A silence we still hear
Just another rite of passage
In the land of sudden fear
Delta Blue—The Silence
