War by Tyrant (US) Lyrics

He was only 18 when his country called
He’d never held a gun in his hand
When he thought about killing
Tears came to his eyes
It was hard for him to understand

His mother kissed him on the cheek
His dad patted him on the back
Next thing he knew
He had a gun in his hand
From there
There was no turning back

Fight! Kill! War!
Fight! Kill! War!

Flying out of the plane
Beneath a bag of wind
And down to a foreign land
The Unknown Soldier
Was a burdened man
And it was something we could all understand
Hendrix cranking in my ears
Psychedelics in my mind
Sent to land with a gun in my hand
Sworn to destroy mankind

Fight! Kill! War!
Fight! Kill! War!

No victory parade
But it was good to be home
But not even a pat on the back
All my dreams have come home with me
I’ve seen them all fade to black

I’ve tried to forget all the things I did
And all the things I saw
When I look in the mirror
I see the eyes of a boy
Who once knew right from wrong

Fight! Kill! War!
Fight! Kill! War!
