Eh, i actually did it for world history, but oh well, i cant sleep, so ima post it...


Fire

With a barrel to his head, nerves busted
A hand me down of the god of war
One last wasted breath on one last wasted thought
As tainted peace falls over light

Lost in a state of fear, surfacing haze
Straining trigger finger, ripped serenity
Blood shot eyes of a killer
Feelings of faith befallen

Shadowed witness, stricken with guilt
Finding peace in passive torture
Never did he lift a finger
The prick of truth stings

Searching for the ticket to heaven
Finding an expressway to hell
All the while wanting an answer
This is the fire

Said the guns get jammed up in the sand, don't let them try to fool you.

I said but daddy we ain't fightin' the Cong no more.
He said you're going over there to lose the very same war.
I said nothin' you can do is gonna make me stay,
Gotta let others have their glory day.
