Fear and anguish is the least bit of my worries Nightmares and horror is but an eye shut away Rage, hate and anger is my only allowed emotion I am trained in the art of hatred because I am a soldier I crave to murder and call it duty I kill bread winners and claim to protect the family I torture and inflict terror and pretend to love humanity I torment lives and kill because I am a solider I stand for honor or is it power I demand I build malicious weapons for the sake of power I torture the innocent for the sake of honor I destroy hopes, dreams and lives because I am a solider My fate asks for me to be evil and vengeful My career asks for me to be destructive and vicious My pride asks me to be unforgiving and merciless Yet I stand and say I am a soldier There is no honor in hate Yet I have found honor in war There is no pride in murder Yet I have found pride with my bullet This is my honor and pride because I am a solider I go to war to kill because I say I value life Only the death from my nationality is terrorism The death of other innocent people is unfortunate Unfortunate because they are voiceless and I am a solider « return. |
