[bodytext] => Slinking down, yeilding to the bitter pain Through dying eyes The fighting is insanity And the sun so bright. Trampled battlefields Green grass dyed red Frightened souls led by loathsome tyrants Falling for false causes Petty feuds they know naught of Hating the enemy Not because of injustice But because of the myth of injustice Propaganda Sweet lies whispered so convincingly Into willing ears The lies build The tide of anger rolls and overflows Blind, unfounded rage Hate is bred out of nothingness Bred to fill the void Men fall through the ages Clad in shining steel, bright red uniforms, green fatigues The names change But the story stays the same Dying eyes see so clearly The dead piling high, seas awash in blood And the sun so very bright Tasting metal now Warmth from within fills the mouth, spills past the lips The smell of charred flesh, nauseating Pain subsiding, numbness closing in The sun so blindingly bright Dying eyes see so clearly the lies.
