Run, attack, don't look back The orders you've been given Running at pace, you charge the attack A soldier's life you're living Taking them down, in the cities and towns While lives blow up in smoke The gunfire reign, how it echoes again The battlefield's no joke You want to go home and you promise you will As your candle lies lit on your home windowsill It no longer matters what's wrong and what's right They strengthen your will and prepare you to fight You say your goodbyes to the ones that you love While the enemy scatters the skies up above The gunfire echoes all over this land The bringer of death in the palm of your hand All is fair in love and war While civilians they run for their lives What are we fighting for? You pray that you see morning light They say you're too young to go to war For your country a battle you fight Now you're on the killing floor You won't leave the battle tonight Surrounded by news, your family await To hear you're alive or if you're M.I.A. The people that you love have now been cast aside By the fear and the pain of the battle you fight For the glory you fight as you fire your round For the good or the bad whether freedom be found The battle is long for the ending you crave You're leading the fight to their imminent grave All is fair in love and war While civilians they run for their lives What are we fighting for? You pray that you see morning light They say you're too young to go to war For your country a battle you fight Now you're on the killing floor You won't leave the battle tonight Stuck down here in no mans' land So you make your final stand The enemy in the desert sand Rounds of gunfire you withstand
