in an effort to resurge my faith
i said a prayer or two in silence
as we marched onward prepared
for whatever the consequences
the venue was dismal and bleak
surrounded by the stench of death
never have i witnessed such bloodshed
the screaming of men could be heard for miles
my first day was so full of chaos
yet now at death i barely flinch
infact indeed i truly welcome it
i can say that i have been to hell
our leaders speak of courage in volumes
so why is it in their eyes i only see fear
i have been trained only to be a killer
there is no room for remorse over here
we sleep amongst the dead bodies
relieving them of their boots and gear
the villagers they all hate and curse us
as we ransack their huts for food and such
i don't know why we are here anymore
just know that i must survive somehow
i shot a kid the otherday had to be 'bout ten
he had a bamboo sword ready to do me
his mother stood crying and screaming
the little guy had a pair on him for sure
but heck i ain't dying at the hands of no kid
sleep and listen to the night at the same time
we head out at day break and see the villagers
the women are out scrounging for some food
i stop to take a leak when i feel a sharp pain
it is in my back i have been stabbed oh shyt
as i fall to my knees i see a woman standing
she looks familiar where have i seen her
then it hits me it's the kids mother damn!
i pull out my revolver but i can't shoot
see she's just revenging her son's death
now i see from where the kid got his pair
funny i just lie there and smile goodbye hell
as i start to fade in and out of it i remember
that i was not always like this what i'd become
i then look up to see the mother, she spits in my face
i said a prayer or two in silence
as we marched onward prepared
for whatever the consequences
the venue was dismal and bleak
surrounded by the stench of death
never have i witnessed such bloodshed
