Covering Fire

Praying I'm not the next one at the front of the line

Ghastly voices telling me I have to stay alive

I cannot remember one day I didn't kill

Their weakening faces haunt me forever, still

Piercing through the flesh, tearing the wounds open more

Cutting them down, one by one

Consequences are for those who do not reign supreme

Killing for life I scream, "Covering fire!"

Victims lie dead, shot to the head, spitting blood back in their face

Gathering strength to make memories fade

Of the fabled master race

Peace: a part of the future

War: a thing of the past

Can this be reality...

Or just a favor no man can ask?

Piercing through the flesh, tearing the wounds open more

Cutting them down, one by one

Consequences are for those who do not reign supreme

Killing for life I scream, "Covering fire!"

Glad to be the last one at the back of the line

Ghastly voices telling me I had to stay alive

I cannot remember one day I didn't kill

Their weakening faces haunt me forever, still

Piercing through the flesh, tearing the wounds open more

Cutting them down, one by one

Consequences are for those who do not reign supreme

Killing for life I scream, "Covering fire!"
