Under Fire
I'm under fire, blood red sky
Underneath the war machine
Fight for what's right don't ask why
Just make the sacrifice
Please, make the sacrifice
Desensitized but my eyes
Still recognize the pain
Through stark and real fight or die
Retreat has no place in this game
In the dark and under fire
Believing our cause was justified
Caught in the cross hair's condition dire
Trying a case of do or die
In the blink of an eye
I took someone's life
It's no wonder why
I'm haunted by it still
Bright flickering light
Snubbed by my numbing hands
Don't understand
One finger slip and it's over for him
All's fair in war so they say
But later as I try to sleep
I just can't help but replay
When I sat in as deity
Was this man a loving father?
Was this man a loving son?
Though it was one of us or the other
I don't feel like a lucky one
In the blink of an eye
I took someone's life
It's no wonder why
I'm haunted by it still
In the dark and under fire
Believing our cause was justified
Caught in the cross hair's condition dire
Trying a case of do or die
In the blink of an eye
I took someone's life
It's no wonder why
I'm haunted every night
I still hear his cries
And think about his wife and his kids
And all that he could have been
If only we'd have been friends
In a blink of an eye
Underneath the war machine
Fight for what's right don't ask why
Just make the sacrifice
Please, make the sacrifice
Desensitized but my eyes
Still recognize the pain
Through stark and real fight or die
Retreat has no place in this game
In the dark and under fire
Believing our cause was justified
Caught in the cross hair's condition dire
Trying a case of do or die
In the blink of an eye
I took someone's life
It's no wonder why
I'm haunted by it still
Bright flickering light
Snubbed by my numbing hands
Don't understand
One finger slip and it's over for him
All's fair in war so they say
But later as I try to sleep
I just can't help but replay
When I sat in as deity
Was this man a loving father?
Was this man a loving son?
Though it was one of us or the other
I don't feel like a lucky one
In the blink of an eye
I took someone's life
It's no wonder why
I'm haunted by it still
In the dark and under fire
Believing our cause was justified
Caught in the cross hair's condition dire
Trying a case of do or die
In the blink of an eye
I took someone's life
It's no wonder why
I'm haunted every night
I still hear his cries
And think about his wife and his kids
And all that he could have been
If only we'd have been friends
In a blink of an eye
