A Soilder's Perspective

It’s always the battle that counts for the war

When we raise our hands to the sky

We’re just asking for more

The enemy and I face down, head to head

Not a single second wasted

But we are walking dead

As I stand in the silence

The scenery may change

And I ask for forgiveness

Please don’t forget my name.

I promise you, I’m not screamin’ for the hell of it

What would it matter to you if I said

That I don’t give a s**t?

I’m fighting for you that is what you need to learn

For your freedom, your family, your home

Rather then let them burn

Don’t forget my cause, what I had fought for

My name maybe nameless

But you are worth dying for

Remember me as the one who raised his voice

As he charged into the battleground

At his own choice

The page is blank as ever

As they lay me in the ground

Remember me as I was, now and forever

Don’t forget the times I laid my life for you

Like I said before

I’m gonna fight for you

You better believe it

This is my home, my country

No way I’m gonna let you take it

I fall with many of my friends

Tears, blood and anger

But it’s not the end

The war continues on

And so will I

But it won't be long

Before you forget and turn your head

But I'm still walking on this Earth

I'm maybe walking dead

But it's hell a worth it for my family

Your brothers and sisters

And all who come after me

So even as you leave

My knees will not give out just yet

Just promise you'll remember me
