I remember vividly with the artillery shelves, the the rule in my ears as they broke apart. I remember crawling in the dirt, trying to get to safety. It seems like so long ago. Mm. I remember asking myself what I had done wrong in the world. Forgot to taunt me every day with a new weapon For me to see so many of my comrades die before me. 20 years ago in the war. That is what I remember. I remember we're in the watch. My father gave to me before he died. I remember. I remember. I remember the suit much. Yeah. Uh huh. I remember it. Mhm. We can't forget.
