When the war is over

When the war is over 
When there is peace time 
Will you still remember 
That other place...inside 
Only you can hear their voices 
Only you can hear their screams 
Never can you escape them
Even in your dreams... 
Your mates they fell beside you 
Suffered for another's needs
They said you'd be remembered 
They said you'd not suffer shame 
And yet those words; forgotten 
More promises: dried up like summer rain
They follow you each moment
Never alone again: the pain
Like a bloody buzzing blowfly
Droning like dive bombing aeroplanes 
Cover your head: scream in pain
Never can you escape the torment
Though you are finally home again
