Deep inside the crystal ball, Who knew how many would fall? Worked forever to get to here, Nearly two decades and a year. Soldiering on half a life span, All to flush it down the can. Forced to continue on and fight, When the end is nowhere in sight. A sun in the horizon in the unknown, To stare at while dreaming of home. The hype leading up to the main event, Counting the days, remember back then? The talk of the town for years to come, Never made a whisper now that it's done. An innocent life lies cold under a flag, Operation peace is fought in a body bag. Too broke to change their mind, Don't they know, are they blind? It may be free tuition they give, The prerequisite is first to live. How could our commander justify, Every innocent man going to die? Brutal carnage of a human army, This is the event he's paying to see? Fireworks in the air not for your eyes, When another erupts, another man dies. The hype leading up to the main event, Counting the days, remember back then? The talk of the town for years to come, Never made a whisper now that it's done. An innocent life lies cold under a flag, A war on terror is fought in a body bag. The strongest men gave their life, To protect his baby and his wife. A mission intended for the better, Or so he promises in every letter. He assures them he will soon return, That rainy day will forever burn. Leaving his baby girl with an image, Of his body that will never diminish. Everything he had ever wanted to be, Only lives in his baby and his legacy. The hype leading up to the main event, Counting the days, remember back then? The talk of the town for years to come, Never made a whisper now that it's done. An innocent life lies cold under a flag, Freedom is only achieved in a body bag. |
