Smoke and Thunder
Where smoke and fire scar a scene we've lost to history.
Comrades leave the corpses, those naive to victory.
"But armor does not tire, even hanging onto bone."
Those ragged men recite this creed when they die alone.
Leaders speak of fate and fear to hopeful crowds of eyes.
"No one makes the tacit choice of death without reprise."
Solace leaves the hearts of those wise enough to know
awful sights, which wait out there, and its audio.
"Can you hear the thunder of a thousand steel boots?
Will you heed the call of gods from armored metal suits?" ...

The soldier
Hey boy listen, here’s the plan,
Be a soldier, be a man,
Open your eyes, heed the call,
Don’t you know there is a war?
Strangers across: road, river or sea,
Are now your mortal enemy,
Get angry, rage, make a fist,
Duty calls, time to enlist,
Swear an oath, sign a form,
You’re now a man in uniform,
The order announced, once again,
Board a wagon, ship or plane,
The hour is nigh, it has begun,
Grab your spear or sword or gun,
They say fight bravely, do not yield,
Prevail upon the...

It's My Turn
They (Soldiers) were young n vibrant,
When pledged to live n die for nation.
They chose life of bunkers,
In dessert, jungle and mountain.
They faught till they could,
for the pride of motherland.
Some martyred and many,
lost their limbs and hands.
We are breathing freedom, because of them.
Country is safe n shining, because of them.
They sacrified their life, for our safety.
Their rehabilitation is now our duty.
Its our turn, to look after them.
Now,
It's my turn, to...
When pledged to live n die for nation.

What Did Your Overlord Say?
Protests in a
petri dish
burn down whole
cities because you
want a free pair of
Gucci flipflops
that was straight
up murder
though
you’re all still a
bunch of asshole race
war losers
though
it’s the bandwagon that
everybody jumps on
go protest in your
favorite celeb’s
neighborhood,
see how much
you’ll have their
support then
virtue and vice,
these men are
all mice
isn’t it strident to
be this nice?
isn’t it...

FIRING SQUAD
I am a civilian
and I hunger
for this election
like no other
I am a soldier
and my vote
is my weapon
unleash me
with one bullet in my gun-
if we all point
the same direction
we have won
and I hunger
for this election
like no other
I am a soldier
and my vote
is my weapon
unleash me
with one bullet in my gun-
if we all point
the same direction
we have won

Becoming Nothing / Nothing Becomes Me / A Battle Cry
It's way too late to become
any thing.
Guess I had a chance & blew it,
I
suppose.
Imagine what they think when
one
proclaims that
one
is
No Thing,
(or nothing, as it occurs).
Oh,you verdant Florida
crepuscule, you.
pleas bless this thing

Paying Tribute
Today is May the 25th and it's Memorial Day.
We're paying tribute to those who fought and died for the USA.
Many brave soldiers gave their lives.
We're paying tribute to the ones who didn't survive.
Many brave soldiers have fought and died.
They were heroes and that can't be denied.
We're paying tribute to those who fought and died for the USA.
Many brave soldiers gave their lives.
We're paying tribute to the ones who didn't survive.

Soldiers
The world knows no peace
But some choose to defend us and
Our home from those that want chaos
The world's fate is fleeting
And they leave a mark quietly
Remember the heroes, past and present
Those who have kept us safe
For the happy laughter of children
And native steppes and fields
Taking risks that others would not
For all those that we love
Always in protection of the Motherland
They came to the service not for fame
And not for the sake of epaulettes
But to protect what they believe in
For loved ones and strangers...
But some choose to defend us and
Our home from those that want chaos
The world's fate is fleeting
And they leave a mark quietly
Remember the heroes, past and present
Those who have kept us safe
For the happy laughter of children
And native steppes and fields
Taking risks that others would not
For all those that we love
Always in protection of the Motherland
They came to the service not for fame
And not for the sake of epaulettes
But to protect what they believe in

Testament of Investment
Men licensed to kill with impunity
Will habitually go on killing sprees
Feeling like they've got immunity
Evading justice as if it's a disease
Cries and pleas won't change this
So resist that type of mentality
Only with unity, symbolically a raised fist
Will visually make them see their mortality
Casualty for casualty is the reality of war
An eye for an eye decried the Old Testament
At some point we must even the score
Building your arsenal is a good investment
Will habitually go on killing sprees
Feeling like they've got immunity
Evading justice as if it's a disease
Cries and pleas won't change this
So resist that type of mentality
Only with unity, symbolically a raised fist
Will visually make them see their mortality
Casualty for casualty is the reality of war
An eye for an eye decried the Old Testament
At some point we must even the score
Building your arsenal is a good investment
