For many hours, I watched the tide of battle turn, time and time again. The ebb and flow washing the dead up the hillside where I lay. I watched as batteries of cannon fired back and forth ferociously, sending me a hundred more compatriots from men who, moments before, were mortal enemies. The cause for which I fought faded from my memory. The dead of one side lay alongside those of the other as if, in the end, they have become fast friends. That was the last I saw before the carrion crow plucked the eyes from my upturned face.

Nice. Minor technical point, though: might want to maintain consistent verb tense. You start in past, bounce to present, then back to past. Otherwise, solid.

Thanks, edited.

Also like this one. Unsettling and yet somehow pretty.
