This is the story of a soldier,
one that swore his life and gave it all,
hold tight for this rollercoaster,
I can all ready hear you bawl.
You should have seen their joy,
he and his fellow belligerents where easy gulls,
there was no need for a decoy,
there were smiles everywhere and then there was a bullet to her skull.
He could have been a purple heart but his wounds weren't physical,
he got home alive and well but so they thought,
he would lay in bed dreaming about his previous obstacle,
his screaming at night they thought would be the worst.
They should have hidden his gun,
and in a blink of an eye another one was gone.
