the albatross
guides our friends of lost
who have gone and fought
despite the cost
they come and go. again they're off
they bare the 8 the Maltese cross
they taught the teachers of thought
sword and shield
the killing field
older begets the loss of feel
the sunsets cradle moon heals
church Sunday pray and kneel
cover the wounds need conceal
asking for truth and real
but getting lies all they do is steal
begging of you to take the wheel
right is righteous rightly revealed
won't someone please, what's the deal
I thought, the hard times were over
I wished upon a four leaf clover
that was trampled when the crusades came through.....
with their recruits.....
religion too......
the flags and banners flew
above our heads
so many brave dead
their reward is a holiday
one cant afford to stay late
risk becoming bait
the bastard i see they lay in wait
I am not affraid
I've saved my hate
I contemplate
prefering peace make no mistake
for God's sake
leave me alone or let's meet face to face
cause this madness you create
doesnt make you great
see I'm not fake
I think and negotiate
I think straight
I won't let anyone, i control my fate
to much is at stake
level headed mental state
deserving of a clean slate
I rode the waves
I didn't break
this soldier's taken all he's gonna take
so welcome me home
Or leave me
the fuck alone!!!
I am aware
that you're
out there.......
I've nothing left to prove to you.
I am one of the few
part or the whole damn crew
just tell me what to do
in hell I grew
And you know this too.
I've paid my dues.
I must conclude
I won't get confused
no matter how it ends
I wont lose
