Someone somewhere declared we march off holding guns
To point and fire should we see different same someones
It matters not though they have lives the same as you
Their flag is different so your orders control you
Beside me wondering there's hundreds more like me
When will that final moment find us randomly
Will we get time to know and feel our last goodbyes
Or will that last misfortune be our last surprise
All we know, is we won't know
I could be home now lying under her Willow tree
Gazing quiet stars her perfumed softness next to me
Familiar summer breeze within the corn protects us there
As far can be away from fear, as her noises tease the air
Lying there each second 30 miles through space we move
But instead of reaching other lives our own ones we remove
It's so much harder to approach than to destroy
Bullets now approaching mum, dad, on target for your boy
Here they come, now I feel numb
Tell my girl that my heart was hers, before its fatal wound
Tell her, my family and my brothers that I'll never see them soon
Tell my country that I died for her, though there's still just one moon
And tell whoever playin' with my life, should play a better tune
So what are you doing here, your time wasn't even near
Four score at least in years, before you were to be here
And who threw away your time, for a medal that only shines
'Cos there's only one thing to find, when your life away they sign
So pick-up your blood filled pens, and re-write your rules with bends
Bring more than just lives to an end, or will we just keep going round
Again, again, again, and again
Tell my girl that my heart was hers, before it's fatal wound
Tell her, my family and my brothers that I'll never see them soon
Tell my country that I died for her, though there's still just one moon
And tell whoever playin' with my life, here's a much better tune
