The address of soldiers
Your tired
tattered torn
but you wont stop
Damn you! those who stop
if the sun sets
as wolves we will run
and if we die
men of war
soldiers of peace
let the sun glean
off shiny headstones
wrapped in gold
set in brass
let in glean!
in a coffin of platinum!
And if we run
as cowards
who fear to stand
who fear a man
who doubt in god
who believe we haven't a chance
and are shot in the back
let us lay there
day after day
and let the buzzards have meal
let them take notes from us
But if we stand
if we live
let them take notice
let them abide by our legacy
let them two become
the men and women of bravery
who shall stand and fight
for what is right
for our sight
that we see
not blindly
following a hollowed call
of hero's fall
are we hero's? nah
and never shall we be
we are soldiers!

"who believe we haven't a chance

No, we are soldiers,
we'd rather remain as predators,
we'll never fall prey to death where our carcass will be scavenged by descending birds and roaming mammals....
Yes, we'll stay alive like the true soldiers we are,
who takes a knive and stabs our back?
who takes a nib and write our obituary?
we recieve all the shots,
we breath life still,
we overide the conspiracy,
the coup takes us out not,
it takes us higher,
we get elevated by it.
In time to come,
we'll be heroes past,
we will be memories lived,
built like monuments,
we are soldiers,
and even in death we fight for the living.

Yes we are the soldiers, we aren't pretty, we aren't popular, but we do what we know is right, regardless of who we are against!
