Brothers in Arms




Dense jungles, desolate deserts,
Blood stains on city walls;
All across the wide world,
I’ve seen them all.

Violence, murder, genocide,
Seen my brothers fall.
But I’ve had to move on;
Because I’ve seen it all.

Villages burning, children dead;
It happens when duty calls.
Survived my worst nightmares,
And I’ve seen them all

Demons in form of humans;
I’ve seen them all.
Though they were all men,
I've killed them all.

Here we are
In forsaken lands,
A bond of kinship we form
With bleeding hands.

The confluence of blood
In barren lands
Has made us kin
For times to stand.

We fight, not for
The glory of our nations,
But for the innocents
Who need our protection.

Brothers in Arms,
We’re doomed to damnation;
Please say farewell
To my wife and children.

Brothers in Arms,
We’re meant to fight;
With courage and valour
Keep the hope alight.

Brothers in Arms,
It’s not the end yet;
Grim it may seem,
But our fates have met.

Brothers in Arms
Fight till your last breath,
Hold your ground, for
We've had no fear of death.

Brothers in Arms,
Road to salvation;
I’m glad to have fought,
And died by my brethren.
