Blood on the Battlefield

Amid the cheers we wave to our loved ones
Looking back as we sail to setting sun
In freedoms name we fight and we follow
Wooed by the tales of the heroes we'd become

Across the field our enemies are waiting
In their eyes a reflection of ourselves
The earth explodes never knowing where it opens
You hear the screams and you glad it isn't you

A blinding light, cuts through the dark and robs me of my sight
In freedoms name a hero I will be
A piercing sound the bodies fly, the smell of death profound
The earth explodes and I'm glad it isn't me
Nowhere to hide, I clench my gun and fight to stay alive

There's no emotions you will feel, as you bleed on the battlefield
Only the reaper spins this wheel, as you lie on the battlefield
Battlefield

This waking nightmare consuming our bodies
The rotting corpses pile high on either side
I push to rise, put my hand through a torso
A flash of light as flesh and steel collide

My spirit fades, the death toll grows, the enemy un-swayed
The war machine fed from either side
My mind grows frail, my motives were to live I must prevail
This waking nightmare as flesh and steel collide
A siren sounds an eerie calm across the battleground

Acrid poison air across the field
Choking, gasping out "This Hell is Real!"
We shall fight this night, and we shall bleed
I bled in the badlands, my life for yours, the adrenaline rush

There's no emotions you will feel, as you bleed on the battlefield
Only the reaper spins this wheel, as you lie on the battlefield
Battlefield

In a moment my life plays before me
Solemn regrets I can never say goodbye
I see the light as I take one final breath
Out of this trench on angel wings I fly

Battlefield!
