War
They say murder is our greatest sin.
Victory is outcome from the wars we win.
Thousands killed in the fields we walk
Demented images repelling men to talk.
With terror in their eyes and hearts stone cold.
Running with AKS, he's only twenty years old!
Grenades in there hands and children on
the bus.
Tell me where God was to save all of us.
In search of peace for all of man kind?
Deep in those souls is no truth to find.
Government lies where pensions don't last.
Compelling these soldiers to relive there painful
past.
