SOLDIER
Just saw a body that didn't have a face Like so many soldiers not even a name Unidentified but a great hero he was Before he tasted the green of the grass
I went to war to fight for my country Even though all its plains are now dirty Covered with corpses, loss and blood Of my friends who once next to me stood
I used to be proud for what I fought for I murdered and killed and still wanted more But the day has come that I saw this madness My body's defending itself less and less
Will I be a hero if I die in this war Or will my stories never travel that far If we gain victory was it because of me Even though victory's something I'll never see
My body's gone numb, I don't feel the pain Last thing I wonder: has the world gone insane The blood flows fast as I lay down my head I'm leaving the earth with its population gone mad |
