Souls of Soldiers

Souls of soldiers... They keep marching on From battles behind to battles beyond With boots on the battlefield and one billion bullets in their brains Obediently following their orders to stop many mudmonsters and to ice the insane Invasions get stopped and killer Kings get killed Sacrificing themselves...some get slaughtered and spilled With bad blood on the bricks...they read the writing on the wall Neverending are the names of the warriors that fall Courage gets the call of the chosen and the few While comfort makes corruption and cowards take their cues Through the black and the blues they keep marching on Through broken bones and bruises...stumbling and staggering Through intense purple pain still they press on Pulling the plugs on another pigs power trip In slimy subcultures in the sewers they slip Sacrificing their sanity...death and damage is their due With nothing to gain and nothing left to lose From trails of tears from yesteryears to terror tracks of tomorrow From battles behind to battles beyond... Souls of soldiers they keep marching on
