lyrics

Death dropping from the sky; hitting the ground
While flesh flies through the air in a shell shocking sound
I watch as my friends get shot in the face
As the rockets and bombs and grenades mutilate

Sir, yes sir I'm just fodder in this machine of war
Sir, yes sir I know that freedom is worth dying for
But I ain't ready to die and I don't want to be here anymore

Whilst trembling in fear I cross over the land
Avoiding the bombs; running fast as I can
My eyes meet the eyes of another young man
And thus I take his soul; his body fell to the sand

The flames burned bright
That sinful night
I screamed in pain
My flesh in flames

My mind was in shatters as I thought of ma
And Delilah and my quiet life back at home
But the bomb only wounded my leg, and not the rest
And thus I wept in my pain and I lost conciousness
