Brothers In Arms
written by CrzyAnml666612:04 AM 3/4/05WE MUST LOOK AROUND
AND SEE WHO HAVE FALLEN
FOR I AM WAR AND HAVE
BEEN WAITING FOR MY CALLING
I HAVE SEEN MANY ROTTING BODIES
LAID IN MUD STAINED IN BLOOD
IT IS TIME WE SHARPEN OUR MINDS
AS WELL AS OUR SWORDS AND FIX
THIS WELL BUT SHATTERED WORLD WE LIVE IN.
AS I DEATH RAISE THE STAKES HOLDING
THE CATACLYSMIC END TO ALL CREATION
SORE FROM THE WEIGHT THAT I CARRY
BLACKENING THIS SKY AS THEY REALIZE
ALL TOO LATE THE MISLEAD PUPPETS
THEIR LEADERS USE.
NOW I REAP THE SOULS
OF THE YOUNG AS THEY FALL
FOR THE CAUSE THEY NO NAUGHT
EXCEPT THE IGNORANCE
OF THEIR COMMANDER AN CHIEF.
AS I CAST ASIDE THE HARDSHIP
AND THE ABUSE I CAN NO LONGER
STAND THE SMELL OF THIS BURNING
WASTE LAND IN WHICH WAS KNOWN
AS HOME OF THE BRAVE,
MY BROTHERS IN ARMS I WILL GLADLY
TAKE WITH ME TO MY GRAVE.
THE SWEAT AND BLOOD
THAT WE GIVE EVERY DAY
WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH
TO FILL TO FILL THE QUOTA
OF ONE LEADER AS WE LEAVE
OUR FAMILIES AND GO MILLIONS
UPON MILLIONS OF MILES TO SOME
OTHER COUNTRY IN HOPES AND
DREAMS OF FINDING OUR WAY
TO FREE THE SLAVES AND
DISBAND THE GREED.
FULL FILLING THE NATIONS
MESSAGE OF TYRANNY IN
THEIR EYES CONTROLLING
THE BULLETS DRINKING
VIRGINS BLOOD IN LIGHT
OF THIS WAKE AS THE PUPPETS
DIE LOSING THEIR SOULS TO ME.
NOW MEET THE ONE THAT
HAS TAKEN YOUR LIFE AS
THE GATES OF HEAVEN
CLOSE IN THE WAKE OF
HELL'S ETERNAL FIRE
SEEING THE DEMONS
TONGUE SWALLOWING
THIS COUNTRY WHOLE.
LOST ARE THESE DAY'S
OF JOY NOW WE CRY AS
THEY TRY TO MAINTAIN
PEACE AMONGST THE
DESERT OF SOLITUDE. |

| I like this.... war sucks. At least G.W. Bush could have been a little less idiotic and sent the people to the right fucking country. |
