Smoke, dirt, rubble and awe
The roar overhead
Before the metal pole rings out
Starring back at death
As if through a child's eyes
I'll never forget the day
Time stood still
Take me back
To sunshine and endless war
F*cked up dome
The wall broke into my skull
Seven .62x54R
Tore through half my face
Shrapnel tried to cut my throat
Take me back
To sunshine and endless war
Arm shattered
Broken flesh just a skin bag
Trying to hold all the bloody, broken pieces in
Adrenaline rushing, dulls the pain
The spectacle of life's frailty
Lost in the settling smoke
Amidst the high in chaos's wake
