Feel It

I break a bone and I feel pain I cut my skin and blood bleeds My headache hurts, Toothache makes me want to scream! The smoke is cold, the ankles ache Been running hard, body's hurting mate! Crawling now through a cold, wet field Grazed, cut, bruised but still no yield Enemy close, enemy fierce, enemy in sight A fight will now see who lives through this night! A truck pulls up carrying many armed men We're here to take control of their communication tent We're here to take it no matter how it ends! Though out numbered 10 to 1 Though 30 miles covered since this mission begun We wait for the signal and then we go! Heart beat stays steady, body now is cold The signal's here We go, we go! Ammunition runs out, weapon thrown down in the snow! Close quarters now, get closer to take hold! Knife fighting, fists, kicking, screams behold! Dead people now, blood all over clothes Broken bones I have, broken teeth, bullet holes! Pain stays secondary as survival instinct holds! The next time I think I've got it bad I'll remember what soldiers go through and I'll feel pretty sad I'll remember that they're out there right now Protecting me from people who want to destroy our land
