Us Under Alien Stars
Here's to all that put up a good fight. A tough battle of day, so we can all safely sleep tonight.
Our brother troops on a foreign ground, wide awake with evil all around.
Outcasts in a bleak lifeless place. Any free time, just trying to picture your face.
Day falls away, and out comes glimmering stars. Not much else to see here, but broken walls and burned up cars.
Within many U.S. troops, thrives a common hope. To defeat these psycho groups, is what we all mainly scope.
Day by day, days drag on. More time here and more friends gone.
Many wish on these stars in the sky. A common wish to finally say goodbye!
Some time from now and not too long, mission complete and soon to sing the song.
These years have come and past. We all have grown very strong, and the bond will always last.
Next up coming, will be our ride back home. Back with our family and freedom to roam.
