Dogs of War

We fight for freedom.
We fight for glory.
We die for our country
and they tell our stories.

Dogs of war.
that's the name we are given.
but it takes a certain man
to live the lives we're livin

Heroes of the trench.
Defenders of the just and true.
we are the slayers of evil.
but does that make us evil too?

We are dogs of war.
bending to our masters will.
We are awarded medals
for the countless we have killed.

the horrors I've seen
will be with me til i die.
but when i put that barrel to my head
i swear no tears shall i cry.

for i am a humble dog of war
through these veins flow pride
we are fearless dogs of war
from death we will not hide.
