War |
| I walk across the sea of flames |
| Against the firing line |
| Being told they’re |
| The ones to blame |
| We invade, we destroy |
| Innocence tattered and torn |
| They run in terror |
| We scorch their earth |
| Dead bodies, stacked ten feet high |
| I can still see them before my eyes |
| Men, women, and children |
| Their life drained from their eyes |
| We were all sent there to die |
| The memories still haunt me |
| The memories still haunt me |
| There’s a problem in the world today |
| I pushed you all away |
| So I could hide my pain |
| The constant torment of never-ending flashbacks |
| Fear behind a smiling mask, I hate what I see in reflective glass |
| Hell above and below |
| I never intended to hurt those I love |
| In the same way I hurt those I was taught to hate |
| And, oh god, the lines become more blurred every day |
| (Voices talking) |
| Voices in my head |
| Ringing in my ears |
| Blood and sand in my eyes |
| Across the desert lies |
| A plain white flag |
| Held in a little boy’s hands |
| He never stood a chance |
| So stop screaming my name |
| We’re not the ones to blame |
| We’re all just pawns to their game |
| Another face with no name |
| «Dying in his name» |
| So stop screaming my name |
| Stop screaming my name |
| It won’t do a thing |
| I have stared death in the face |
| And spoke words so strange |
| I bear my cross with disdain |
| Bearing the souls of the slain |
| I gave up all that I own |
| My love, my family, my home |
| But what I regret the most |
| Is giving up hope |
| Lay me down, descend me to the darkness |
| Pray for me, for I have lost salvation |
| I suppress my memories with poisons |
| Replace my life with the little boy’s I should have saved |
| Disassemble. |
| Rearrange |
| Praise me for my accolades |
| But when I cry for help, all you do is talk of shame |
| Though my tour is ended the sound continues |
| And the sound of war is endless |
| Now I’m drowning in a bottle of substance |
| Waking in the middle of the night |
| Screaming to memories |
| I can still hear them screaming |
| The blade feels so cold |
| Pressed against my skin |
| I am the one that never grows old (we are the ones that never grow old) |
| Remember me for me, not my end |
| Do you know what its like when your gun jams |
| And you’re standing face to face |
| With a man who wants to die for his country |
| Who wants to die for his beliefs |
| He raises his gun |
| And fires away |
| God abandoned me? |
| God abandoned us all |
| I walk across the sea of flames |
