Song Of The Damned

Marching ahead...
We fought we bled
Into the fire we were led
There we sang the song of the damned

Like pawns on a chess board
For reasons unknown to us we shed blood
Through wars can men solve the problems of the world?
Slaves,soldiers,nobles and lords...

Every man is an aspiring king
A worshipper of that idol the "ME"
And when the conflict of interest arises...
We the damned are sent in

They teach us to be dependable
It's no secret we are expendable
That's why we're hidden away in caves and jungles
With perpetual fantasies of the inevitable

We all will fall we know
But ours will be sudden and violent
We smile as we soar through tracks unknown
For once our soul peaceful and silent

We're sent into the fields of battle
While they sit in round tables
To discuss peace and take statistics
When the victims are already in their caskets

Don't cry don't ask why
Ours is a lifetime of following orders
Until the day we finally die
And transcend this earthly boarder

Mama i'm leaving
My lover i'm gone
Don't know when i'll be returning
Till then it's knives,grenades and guns

Matching ahead...
We fought we bled
Into the fire we were led
There we sang the song of the damned

Selling our souls in defence
For this reason we were chosen hence
We must follow the rules and ethics
Even though the interest of few's what is often described as the collective

Day or night
Rain or shine
We're ready to fight
At anytime

Death can come abruptly
Who cares we're already dead
Towards danger we march constantly
Eyes mean,mercilless and red

Drowning in the blood we've spilled
We ourselves a victim of the curse
At night we hear the voices of men we've killed
In mockery calling out to us

Saying "soldiers are are nothing but mere men
We kill to live but then...
Beneath here's a place for all the damned
Descend come with me my friend

With all the pain and taunting visions
We must rise in courage and confidence
Even though our joy and victory's fated to sour
Men will say it was our finest hour

Marching ahead...
We fought we bled
Into the fire we were led
There we sang the song of the damned
