Souls of Soldiers
Souls of soldiers... They keep marching on
From battles behind to battles beyond
With boots on the battlefield and one billion bullets in their brains
Obediently following their orders to stop many mudmonsters and to ice the insane
Invasions get stopped and killer Kings get killed
Sacrificing themselves...some get slaughtered and spilled
With bad blood on the bricks...they read the writing on the wall
Neverending are the names of the warriors that fall
Courage gets the call of the chosen and the few
While comfort makes corruption and cowards take their cues
Through the black and the blues they keep marching on
Through broken bones and bruises...stumbling and staggering
Through intense purple pain still they press on
Pulling the plugs on another pigs power trip
In slimy subcultures in the sewers they slip
Sacrificing their sanity...death and damage is their due
With nothing to gain and nothing left to lose
From trails of tears from yesteryears to terror tracks of tomorrow
From battles behind to battles beyond...
Souls of soldiers they keep marching on
