Lyrics The Killing Floor - Dendera

The Killing Floor

Run, attack, don’t look back
The orders you’ve been given
Running at pace, you charge the attack
A soldier’s life you’re living
Taking them down, in the cities and towns
While lives blow up in smoke
The gunfire reign, how it echoes again
The battlefield’s no joke
You want to go home and you promise you will
As your candle lies lit on your home windowsill
It no longer matters what’s wrong and what’s right
They strengthen your will and prepare you to fight
You say your goodbyes to the ones that you love
While the enemy scatters the skies up above
The gunfire echoes all over this land
The bringer of death in the palm of your hand
All is fair in love and war
While civilians they run for their lives
What are we fighting for?
You pray that you see morning light
They say you’re too young to go to war
For your country a battle you fight
Now you’re on the killing floor
You won’t leave the battle tonight
Surrounded by news, your family await
To hear you’re alive or if you’re M.I.A.
The people that you love have now been cast aside
By the fear and the pain of the battle you fight
For the glory you fight as you fire your round
For the good or the bad whether freedom be found
The battle is long for the ending you crave
You’re leading the fight to their imminent grave
All is fair in love and war
While civilians they run for their lives
What are we fighting for?
You pray that you see morning light
They say you’re too young to go to war
For your country a battle you fight
Now you’re on the killing floor
You won’t leave the battle tonight
Stuck down here in no mans' land
So you make your final stand
The enemy in the desert sand
Rounds of gunfire you withstand
