Soldier

Why I am so lost ? How into this world, have I been tossed? I don’t feel safety any more The world is filling up with too much war Thousands of people are dying everyday I can see the dead as I make my way But I will keep marching on I will not stop, until the enemy is gone I think I may have gone insane I am no longer think with this soft brain I let my gun show me the way For it is just another blood filled day Pain fills my head as I am shot in the side The bomb explodes, and I know I have died My arms and legs are ripped apart All the blood is drained from my heart Bullets blackens the skies I watch the world slip away as poor Johnny dies The bomb blows away Richard’s face Only blood and bone is left in its place As a child I used to dream of the fight I was going to kill evil men like a holy knight To kill hundreds was going to be my great story I was only trying to my own find glory There was nothing in this life for me any more I can’t remember who I was even fighting for I just pray I was fighting for the right side That God will understand why I have died I know that killing is a sin But I had to do it, so my side would win
