M.I.A. |
Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun would never rise |
Living another day in disguise |
These feelings can’t be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight, |
on tonight |
Stand up and fight |
The fighting rages on and on, to challenge me you must be strong |
I walk your land but don’t belong, two million soldiers can’t be wrong |
It’s no fun but I’ve been here before |
I’m far from home and I’m fighting your war |
(Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things) |
Some are scared others killing for fun, I shot a mother right in front of her |
son |
(Take this from my consciousness, and please erase my dreams) |
Fight for honor, fight for your life |
Pray to God that our side is right |
And though we won, I still may lose |
Until I make it home to you |
I see our mothers filled with tears |
Grew up so fast where did those years go? |
Memories won’t let you cry |
Unless I don’t return tonight |
So many soldiers on the other side, I take their lives so they can’t take mine |
(Scared to make it out alive now murder’s all I know) |
Nobody tells me all the reasons we’re here |
I have my weapons so there’s nothing to fear |
(Another day, another life, but nothing real to show for) |
Fight for honor, fight for your life |
Pray to God that our side is right |
And though we won, I still may lose |
Until I make it home to you |
I see our mothers filled with tears |
Grew up so fast where did those years go? |
Memories won’t let you cry |
Unless I don’t return tonight |
Staring at the carnage, praying that the sun would never rise |
Living another day in disguise |
These feelings can’t be right, lend me your courage to stand up and fight |
Watching the death toll rise wondering how I’m alive |
Stranger’s blood on my hands, shot all I can |
There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die |
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me |
(No thought of me, no thought of me) |
Walk the city lonely |
Memories that haunt are passing by |
A murderer walks your streets tonight |
Forgive me for my crimes, don’t forget that I was so young |
Fought so scared in the name of God and country |
