Sent overseas to foreign lands To fight a war for God and your country Unknowing soul swallowed whole Fed to feed the engines of conquest For liberty or so you're told To spread freedom to all of the third world A hallow dream and shallow lie The greedy profit while the people die
A slave to the sword
Traumatic death takes its toll Mind is fractured, blood running ice cold Vacant eyes staring blind Lost to death while I'm still alive A broken corpse, a former friend Did he really die for freedom in the end? A hallow dream and shallow lie The greedy profit while the people die
A pawn of the horde
The people here don't want us here They look to us with frightened hate and fear Another day, another death Were they innocent or possible terrorists? Democracy at any cost How many lives will finally be enough? A hallow dream and shallow lie The greedy profit while the people die
Came back home Can't get a job Too messed up From all that I've done What I've seen It won't go away No matter how much I drink and pray
Another dream Back on the front Out of bullets Can't use my gun Fighting hand to hand For my life My fingers crush a soldier's windpipe
Awaken from a violent frenzy To see the slaughter I have rendered
Wife and daughter strangled to death Victims of my war dementia Suicide my only option
