Heroes of War

Boys grown to men Bullets dogged to defend Born with a strength Their lives are of an unknown length Left with a rage With each and every letter they turn a page Of another day of blood, sweat and tears Which they will try to forget over the years Hoping to be heroes of war They wish to be so much more To earn the praise of their fathers The respect of others Prisoners of America ego Fighting feuds of long ago A cult of government reign For each and every death it is our lord that feels the pain So many young souls that will be forsaken And moments of time that will taken Their is only one choice To be answered with a hero's voice A clear roll of the dice An ultimate sacrifice Of ones own life * you will be missed
