The Hessian Collection - Snoflek - 08-18-2016
A collection of various thoughts and actions from the PoV of a certain Red Hessian, ranging from enthusiastic and faithful, to cynical as they progress through the ranks
The Hessian clad in Red we are
And we shall wipe out tyranny
When the men dug, and the women toiled
Where was the politic's man?
Their only motivator is greed
Bold Hessian men their vows fulfill
We will never be beaten, for our cause is just
Wiping the sweat off
Then I rise
I have blood on my hands
And if my heart beats
Then the bomb still drops
I hear people begging
I hear friends screaming
Think of why I'm here and know I lack the courage
But, I'll cover you friend
One last breath
Every bomb that goes off can rob me of my dreams
Is the war over?
So that I do not have fight
Only sounds to me like a whimpering Tinnitus
Feel a violent rattling and, then, someone saves me
I can not say who it is
Because my fuel's leaked, and smoke is everywhere
I'm tired, my chest burns and I want to sleep forever
Think of the future, think of better days
But suddenly in a rush, my sense return
I'm not finished here!
That was not my purpose!
Keep flying straight, supress the panic
And every bomb that explodes is another step on the way to victory
Put my helmet on
Obey all the commands from above
Explosions go off all around me
I see comrades under shrouds at the base
Motionless without any gesture
the courage remains
But the body failed
When is the war over?
So that I do not have to suffer
Move on and listen again to enemy fire
Everything is burning but I suppose objectives was
To bring chaos and fire to all
I prime my weapons
Take careful aim and get ready to fire
It's us or them
An all out fight for survival, but our cause is just.....right?
I have a melancholy mood, I am now declared an enemy of Rheinland
I've gotten lucky so far, though today I'm sure I'll leave this world
I have a goal even if I did not trust myself capable of it
I must go on I'm a Hessian and no coward
I can see shots in the distance, but the streaks of energy seem so close
I'm not sure I saw enemies on the scanner
But talking is difficult, everything is dry to the throat
My comrades try and cheer me up
They say everything will be just fine
We trained for months, but the fear will never go away completely
It's Russian roulette, you never know until it's all over
Even if I fall, someone stronger will stand up in my place
I have a mission, a goal, even if I'm afraid
My ships loaded, I'm ready to go
I do not care if I do not come back
I've been prepared for this for years
I'm willing to do anything to save Rheinland
My body is so tired, I want to sleep and never awake
Around me, my squadron is dropping like flies
Seconds feel like minutes
Everything seems to be in slow motion
I've seen thing I didn't ever believe
And just now, a mine that could have ended me going off mere meters away from my face
Everything Explodes and I'm still alive somehow
Somewhere on my ship, a few metal shards caused a fuel leak and fire
And breathing is so painful in my chest
But I'm not dead yet, so I keep flying
I've fought in this endless hateful war for eight months now, night and day.
In that time I've aged a decade.
My hair has turned grey, nearly everyone on my squad has died
I doubt I'll ever smile again
I've fought next to real heroes, and strangled men in their sleep
But I'm still alive, and I plan to stay that way
One last breath goes through my lungs
Strapping myself in to the flight harness
And the last time a look at my base
Commands engraved and a smile on my face
But I focus, turn of my heart
I have no place for emotions here
The stars are my home, and space is my territory
I hear a noise and a Mayday
Someone crashed by the weapon platform
I hope all is well for the rest of the squadron
Good work guys, only a single man died
The Commander gives me orders and I execute them
The whole battle feels like cat and mouse
All good things come from above
My vision is clear
Not hesitating on a single shot, I'm a part of history in the making
I'm a pilot and my responsibility is to fly into a firefight
I have a view that everyone wants
I decide weather you live or die tonight
I must go back now to my comrades
The skies know my name
My arms are secured my senses are sharpened
Fetch me that pilot that's been annoying me
My target is sighted in front of me and I got him
Now it's all or nothing
I'm not the losing
My commander sent us out with high hopes
Open fire, and the wannabe soldier crumbles
I'll get another breath
And am now fully focused
I press the red button
I see flying missiles
Everything here is in slowmotion
A defeat would be a no-go
Take a step back, your new commander is here
The enemy's formations are uncovered, and the enemy in sight
And I see your moves and how your fleet's ace kicked the bucket
Spread the Terror and hunt them like dogs
Field Scanner active
Enemies on the sector's edge
Comrades, stand back
I've sent in the gunships
Enter the action myself, to get a better look
And support my men, it's still not a problem
Search, seek and destroy, dispute
Assault on sector 4D
And an endless Fight
Yes, we march in the enemy's territory
And sings the Devil's song
A man goes to work in New Berlin
And silently he hums along
Out here, there is no up or down
And the whole world may
Curse or praise us
Whatever they please to do
Wherever we are, let's us go forward
And we devils laughs like this
We're fighting for Rheinland
For The freedom to prosper
We'll give the enemy no rest
How far the flight may be,
We will soon pick up the battle
Determined, always ready to fight
Attack in day and night.
The controls grasped firmly and boldly
Overrun the enemy position!
Without fear, we face death
The enemy is clear and their bodies piled
And the reaper, he has a violent hand
He likes the bests to keep on killing
Meaning he won't take a Hessian
