They say a soldier served his country well
Given medals and accolades as self pride fell
Cut the fat to bare bones Infantry's job, KILL!
History haunt's from nightmares to emotions we feel
The world is so fake reality does not look real
resentment builds up while everyone "knows how we feel"
Did you trade your future for failure, books for boots?
So understand our valor is not for you to steal
lose sensitivity or don't survive in the sandbox
no time for tears when rounds hit the truck like rocks
We were ready to die for you would you die for us?
War trauma recognized here state side with no plus
See war til we die as you laugh at our craziness
suicide has never seemed so serene or unjust
escape outside our minds these monsters are dangerous
victory is found from those that learn to adjust
Adapt and overcome, if you can hold on longer
put your pistol down, or back into your holster
fold the flag for his family, tell them the war is over
or at least finally over for this 51ck 50ldier
"Only the dead have seen the end of war"
