Crow
It all started with the fall of our great towers
We lost our own citizens to a small group of cowards
For those people that died, we honored them with our flowers
We sent troops over to fight in foreign land
To find out who ordered the command, that brought our country so much sorrow
And the fear of what would come tomorrow
Our loved ones have been fighting for months on end
Fighting the enemy who brought us to defend, our nation who fear’s and cries
because of them
Why has it come to this?
Years of conflict and days of pain
Our soldiers are still fighting, but in who’s name?
This conflict has had nothing to show except for our dead
Who lay to rest in eternity’s bed
Forever lost with nothing we can do
We look at our leader and say “It’s all because of you”
Are feeling have brought us to hate our own kind
We as a nation can not see past our own bind
Throughout all this agony and pain,
Our troops still fight from morning to night
They fight for what they know
Will eventually lead them to the sought after crow
The crow of disaster, the crow of pain
The evil man that brought us this shame
