Hey guys, my names Liam. Im new This is a song i wrote after i read an article about the afghan war.
Victory, has a heavy price.
Another body, in a bag
And a letter for a wife
and kid he'd never even have
I read your story just yesterday,
and i guess it made me sad
Struck down one by one,
by an enemy we never knew we had
It's the last place on earth you'd want blood in the dirt
But higher powers they say
To an alien land and as brothers you'll stand
But you'll all end up face down some day.
The petting zoo of death lies in a,
box on the ground
And in that box are your own blood and tears,
and a folded american flag
I saw the mourners weep
as I drove past the church,
I heard the coffin creek
but it was only bricks they nursed
It's the last place on earth you'd want blood in the dirt
But higher powers they say
To an alien land and as brothers you'll stand
But you'll all end up face down some day.
How can one life jusitfy, just to be on the winning side
How can one letter dignify, just to write he died with pride
How can there be a bright side, as we bicker and change like jeckyl and hyde
Met his match by the road side, no one cried for him world wide.
And It's the last place on earth you'd want blood in the dirt
But higher powers they say
To an alien land and as brothers you'll stand
But you'll all end up face down some day.
