Soldier!

Every time I look away

I feel the darkness in my way

Never be the one to choose

This life is a win or lose


Nothing changed, it's still the same

Crying for this worthless game

When we fight for our lives

When we die without a prize


How do you feel to be a man?

On a battlefield again

Throwing every thought away

Send a letter every day


Do you still remember us?

When you saw it from the bus

Thoughts of Family and friends

After promises and threats.


This is what we have to do

See the angle of the view

When we think outside the box

All the doors with different locks


Have you ever wished for time?

Instead pennies and the dime

Realizing it's a crime

Leaving lonely for a prime


Know you miss being at home

Only when you drown in Rum

Trust me, we were all in there

Drugged with fire and the air


Though it's over? NO, it's not

Everything from all we brought

Just began to start the shot

In the breaking-only spot.
