Burgandy Stains (Undisclosed Heros)

they die for you at night, alone, they cry from your noose infants born starving on your military base Usually lawyers marvel at these various cases Still they die for you Faced down in the devils tears Last goodbyes from your noose Like a soldier To be your hero is their responsiblity Bury your dehydrated ruins beneath that boulder Move along swiftly, maintain, your agility Rest your head amongst this heated, sunbeded sand The only purity our lucifer may ever release Seems you have fallen victim to an unleaded hand When sincere to be, is your only peace Will you protect us When we try you Will you hang for our neglected trust You have been trained and suited to kill Yet when you kill It becomes a recruited appeal to a soldiers will Tell me does it hurt To leave on a conquest to serve your nation Yet upon your return Greetings, and welcome home's are in great hesitation Now you stand before the same individuals that sent you to war Only here on your soil have you become a convict for cruetly These common acts of defending your life's declining bar Don't you just love the way congress decieves it's people, Betrays it's army Feeds herione to infants through disinfected needles When I'm dead and gone nothing you do can harm me Poetry soup, they die for you At night, alone, they cry from your noose Yet you convict them, crimes of war Our red and white stripes Beginning to fade burgandy amongst the stars If no one else is here for you Like our soldiers I'll stand and remain fragile At times that I crearly cannot win
