Killed many a man

Did what my country asked of me
Wasn't my plan

When I look into the mirror
I no longer know
Who I am

I often pray
When my time comes
God will understand
Why the man before him
Has blood on his hands

Forgive Me

Forced into war
Killed many a man

Wasn't my plan

When I look into the mirror
I no longer know
Who I am

I often pray
When my time comes
God will understand
Why the man before him
Has blood on his hands

What a heavy load you carry. In my humble opinion I believe that God has already forgiven you, but it seems the real struggle here may be whether or not you forgiven yourself. Thank you for your service.

A dark world is your stage and your past as well.
Some see peace on earth while you endure hell.
Regardless of the sights,
Regardless of the pains,
Remember that your country is not the people you meet.
In fact your country, is a systematic class of the rich and elite.
Some of us know this truth, while some of us don't.
Regardless of that, we have faith in you too.
That you may feel better, and be whole again soon.

// // `Tis very sad. I guess you`ll find out. Do we do as ordered or will God punish those who waged any kind of war? I guess I should be thankful they would not take me but I`m sure I have a sufficient amount of judgement coming my way. Thou shall not kill, turn the other cheek I just wouldn/'/t be capable of not protecting the ones I care about or me. Definitely some heavy thoughts provoked with this one. 👍🏼 Take care.
