War PhemieC

I was taken in
By a red devil with a charming grin
And he and I were close as anything
But battles shake the ghosts from the carpeting

And what did I receive
For my loyalty to my beliefs?
Boots on my feet, banner in the air
Shovel in my hand diggin' a hole to nowhere

And I will barricade myself inside my barracks, myself, me and I
And never have to look a traitor in the eye again
And after all this is a War, and what are enemy lines for
If not to separate the weaklings from the men?

Heros never die
'Long as the battle survives, we too must stay alive
I can't believe it ended with a lie
I'd like to talk to you about it if you've got the time

But there's no time to grieve
I must stay loyal to what I believe
And any part of me that dares to disagree
Will be buried deep beneath my pain and indignity

And I will barricade myself inside my barracks, myself, me and I
And never have to look a traitor in the eye again
And after all this is a War, and what are enemy lines for
If not to separate the bleeders from the men?
