And for a second he wasn't quite sure what it was
Until it tickled his face and he opened his eyes
On a beach in the French summer sun
With Sulphur in the air and the smell of something worse
He leaned up on his elbow and looked around
He wiped some blood from his face and saw his buddy James
Mangled and torn apart on the ground
The medics got him and he thanked god they did
