Into the fray, they've sent us to die As if we were soldiers of clay The seeds of my doubt, refusing to die But how could my country betray? Fall on your knees, pray to your God But he's nowhere to be found Thousands were slain, and few have survived Leaving their friends on the ground Sworn by hate Hail of fire Spiral flames haul again Scorching flesh gone insane Taste the blood, bullets rain Tortured soul, blessed be the altar of pain Frozen with fear, faceless and torn Trapped from the world that I know A shell of myself, the man that I was Have died on the day to atone I live with this pain, it can't be denied But there's nowhere to hide The altar of pain, still sacred to those Who worship the deaf and the blind On my knees, tell me God Why? Why?
