Lyrics Bound by Silence - Metal Allegiance, John Bush

Bound by Silence

Followed Dad’s steps
Uncle Sam gleams
Sleepless desert nights
New York City dreams
Walking 5th Avenue
In combat fatigues
Spit and thrown shit on
By media exposed siege
Moon glares bigger
Hold its power
Life hanging thin
Gazing stars towered
Purpose and vengeance
Strapping on gear
Ready for combat
Embarking with no fear
Silenced by all
Signing the act
War on the world
Bound by silence
Silenced by all
Life in secrecy
Signing the act
Eyes betraying me
War on the world
Bound by silence
Terrorize no more
Dreadful silent nights
Stepped in dead graves
Second squad up
Blood pouring waves
Firing blind in night
Blood on the grass
Branches whipping 'round
Tripping by unseen brass
Dark all around
Blood gleaming through
Bodies laid to waste
Nothing no one could do
Enemy grants terror
Thrown in dirt cover
Flashes and loud cracks
Ambush and recover
Silenced by all
Signing the act
War on the world
Bound by silence
Silenced by all
Life in secrecy
Signing the act
Eyes betraying me
War on the world
Desecrating all
Bound by silence
Drafted by fear
Serving the command
The convoy defeated
Not heroic or grand
Legacy cemented
Survivor remorse
No escaping the memory
Nightmare by force
Seized his worth
Kept in confinement
Fear, hope and truth
Displayed no sorrow
War on the world
Desecrating all
Bound by silence
Bound by silence
Sounds penetrate through
Underground caves come
Stomach cramping up
Triggered by forced thumb
Cold punch of lead
Pulverizing veins
Ripping out bones
Leaves you instantly drained
Scream cease fire
Boys laid dead
Blood pooling beneath
Gleaming in dark red
Lips ripped away
Baring broken teeth
Empty eye sockets
Holding sacred keys
Silenced by all
Signing the act
War on the world
Bound by silence
Silenced by all
Life in secrecy
Signing the act
Eyes betraying me
War on the world
Desecrating all
Bound by silence
