Staring at the carnage

Praying that the sun would never rise

 Living another day in disguise

 These feelings can't be right

 Lend me your courage to stand up and fight

On tonight

Ooooo....

 Stand up and fight

The fighting rages on and on

To challenge me you must be strong

I walk your land but don't belong

Two million soldiers can't be wrong

It's no fun but I've been here before

 I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war

 (Not the way I pictured this, I wanted better things)

Some are scared, others killing for fun

 I shot a mother right in front of her son

 (Take this from my consciousness, and please erase my dreams)

Fight for honor, fight for your life

Pray to God that our side is right

 And though we won, I still may lose

Until I make it home to you

I see our mothers filled with tears

Grew up so fast where did those years go?

Memories won't let you cry

Unless I don't return tonight

So many soldiers on the other side

 I take their lives so they can't take mine

 (Scared to make it out alive, now murder's all I know)

Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here

 I have my weapon so there's nothing to fear

 (Another day, another life, but nothing real to show for)

Fight for honor, fight for your life

Pray to God that our side is right

 And though we won, I still may lose

Until I make it home to you

I see our mothers filled with tears

Grew up so fast where did those years go?

Memories won't let you cry

Unless I don't return tonight

Staring at the carnage

Praying that the sun would never rise

 Living another day in disguise

 These feelings can't be right

 Lend me your courage to stand up and fight

Watching the death toll rise, wondering how I'm alive

 Strangers' blood on my hands, I've shot all I can

There are no silent nights, watching your brothers all die

 To destroy all their plans with no thought of me

No thought of me, no thought of me

Ohhhhh.....

Walk the city lonely

Memories that haunt are passing by

 A murderer walks your street tonight

 Forgive me for my crimes

Don't forget that I was so young

 Fought so scared in the name of God and country

Hope you enjoyed, and feel free to let me know if you think there is any way to

make this better. :)
