#update the audio was too quiet so i gave it a boost

Why should anyone perish in battle?
How damp is the land breathing beneath our feet,
How clear is the sky above us!
Why should there be strife under this sky?

Above the apple-tree a swarm of bees buzzes
The children laugh in the raspberry bushes,
In a land where men do not fight,
Where defenseless kindness is mighty…

I shall walk there day and night,
With no regard for thirst and hunger.
I want so much to reach that place one day
And tie my scabbard with a strap.

But the way is long and the enemies are fierce,
And only force can counter force.
How can one step into the silence though puddles of blood,
Their sword still not forsaken from their hold?..

Kelly (Dina Bromberg) - Why should anyone perish in battle
