Always Bring Your Knife To a Gun Fight

Shoulder to shoulder Army and Marines 21st century soldier lethal killing machines Were to take this strong hold and set nations free Starting with ridding this city from insurgent filled streets Gave civilians early warning tomorrow we invade Closing in to the center until our enemies are laid waste If you remained in the city then you're presumed to be a threat Honestly I've never felt so alive to see so much death Removing emotions, suppress fears, then move on to the bridge No mechanism support for this battle just our strong wills to live From house to house we kicked down every single door Fueled by adrenaline and hate from the first twenty-six days at war Prepared to engage in any hand to hand combat Enclosed battle zones allow for these kind of attacks Its a different feeling to pull the trigger and watch the bodies fall Then to fight human eye to human eye bare knuckled in a brawl Pulling blade from sheath then stabbing the threat seven times in his side Compassion is a but ghost when its his life or mine Three more times into the ribs until there was nothing left in his eyes The day I befriended fear and I brought my knife to a gun fight Fallujah 11/9/04 3rd Battalion and 5th Marines
