Staring at the carnage
Now fighting rages on and on
To challenge me, you must be strong
Nobody tells me all the reasons we're here
Pray to God that our side is right
So many soldiers on the other side
Grew up so fast, where did those years go?
Living another day in disguise
Unless I don't return tonight
I wanted better things
Memories won't let you cry
Walk the city lonely
And please erase my dreams
Know we won, I still may lose
Another day, another life
Until I make it home to you
I see our mothers filled with tears
Stand up and fight
Watching your brothers all die
Know we won, I still may lose
Grew up so fast, where did those years go?
Memories that haunt are passing by
There were no silent nights
Fight for honor, fight for your life
I shot a mother right in front of her son
Stranger's blood on my hands, shot all I can
Watching the death toll rise
Wondering how I'm alive
I walk your land but don't belong
Until I make it home to you
A murderer walks your streets tonight
To destroy all their plans with no thought of me
I take their lives so they can't take mine
Not the way I pictured this
It's no fun but I've been here before
Lend me your courage to stand up and fight on tonight
No thought of me, no thought of me
Take this from my consciousness
Some are scared, others killing for fun
Scared to make it out alive now
Praying that the sun would never rise
Don't forget that I was so young
Lend me your courage, stand up and fight
I have my weapon, so there's nothing to fear
Living another day in disguise
But nothing real to show for
Pray to God that our side is right
Fight for honor, fight for your life
Murder's all I know
Unless I don't return tonight
Two million soldiers can't be wrong
Memories won't let you cry
These feelings can't be right
These feelings can't be right
I see our mothers filled with tears
Forgive me for my crimes
I'm far from home and I'm fighting your war
