Trigger warnings
Full Mettle
Full mettle
Full pelt
Onward march
Bombs and bullets
I quiver in my muddy boots
I muster up some courage
I must not show my fear
Yet, my heart beats at twice the speed
I feel freezing cold
Yet, sweat dripping in front of my red bloodshot eyes
Onward march
Full mettle
Full pelt
I jump into the darkened trench
Bombs and bullets disperse
I steady my hands
I shoot my rifle
In this thick fog
Bullets and bombs like smoking fireworks
The sweat of fear runs down my sodden shirt
I muster up some courage
I must not not show my fear
Onward march
Full pelt
Full mettle
