lyrics

Hunger burning, paranoia lurking
I'm not who you think I am
Dredged up screams from deadly dreams
For want of power you'd see me damned
Friends or foes, blurring lines
Trenches that never end
Nothing's real in these killing fields
As the wind blows, I must bend

CH: Did your enemy come over the wire
Across the thin red line through smoke and fire
Alone in the darkness, await your fate
To kill an enemy you cannot hate

Soldier fighting blind at night
There are no judgements of wrong or right
Feign indifference to it all
The ground that shakes, the bombs that fall
Empires rise and empires fall
But one thing always remains the same
The ones who fight, the ones who die
They are not the ones to blame
