Military Mission

Location

 

                                                                        Clouded and faded

Eyes stare from the shadows

Watching you

Taunting you

Waiting

Make a move

 

Bang, bang

Echo of cries

Get out alive

Search and destroy

Run to your position

This is the Military Mission

 

Cut your life in two

Ruby stained hands grasp for ground

Wondering souls scream for you

All you want is out

 

Bang, bang

Echo of cries

Get out alive

Search and destroy

Run to your position

This is the Military Mission

 

Safe and sound

You wish to be

Far from it I fear

The devil has come

To take your life

Only thing to do

Run for cover

 

Bang, bang

Echo of cries

Get out alive

Search and destroy

Run to your position

This is the Military Mission

 

Fight back

Carmine handprints on the walls

Both yours and his

Fight hard

Fight long

Fight strong

 

Bang, bang

Echo of cries

Get out alive

Fight till death

Don’t let go

Still hold strong

 

Bang, Bang

Echo of the shot

Falling slow

Trying to hold strong

 

Breath deep

Release

In the crimson life

That once was yours

Take hold

Of the guiding wings

To lead you back home

This is the Military Mission
