Treachery

(Closing The Coffin) Learning To Kill

Treachery


Sitting here in silence 
I can not make a sound 
I'm paralyzed with fear 
From what lies on the ground 
Another soldier dying 
Can't help but question why 
Will this war ever turn to peace? 
Will I be the next to die? 

Moving on in silence 
Struggling to survive 
In this never ending battle 
Of the quest to stay alive 
Marching on in silence 
Never looking back 
Preparing for the worst 
That waits in the next attack 

Once again it's proven 
Man kills man at will 
Through the years have we only learned 
Better ways to kill? Learning to kill! 

Camouflaged with colors 
Trying to keep still 
Target straight in sight 
Now I'm learning how to kill 
Looking on with horror 
Dug in nice and tight 
See the flash of evil 
I'm blinded by the light.
