Soldiers

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

I give myself to those who would
Make more of me than I ever could

Training hard every day
So that society I can pay
Until called for when in need
To worlds afar that must be freed

And once again I am thrown into the fray
So that others can see a better day
A world afar filled with hate
Perhaps my attempts to help are too late

But I still march into the fray
So that we can blow them all away
The evil doers who try to be
Martyrs who have a destiny

In the end they will find
An empty sky without mind
No seventy-two virgins will await
Their doom is sealed and death their fate

After a kill, or two, or three
It no longer affects me
So I march into the fray
Knowing full well ahead what lay

But I do not march alone
My comrades, my brothers, all I've known
So well these past years
It will be hard to fight back the tears
When I am forced to march home
No wife, no family, all alone
Victory that is bitter sweet
Perhaps these martyrs one day I will meet

In another world better than this
Perhaps one truly filled with bliss
And we will even be friends
When all that is, and was, ends.
