Where Pride Lies

          There are no heroes in war.  Only who have yet to die.  Foolish youth fighting under the pretense and lies.

         Blinded by the want to prove themselves.  And the need to bolster their pride.  For god, honor and country is a reason that no longer abides.

         Only the medals upon the chest.  And the pleasure that comes with killing those who hide. Are the factors that will guide.

         Those who believe only by bringing death may they stride.
