The evil

 

The evil

Soldier wakes from is slumber starting a new day

Daily struggle pushing the feelings of anguish away

Cause the rich rage war and it cripples the poor

Glorious stories cloak the truth of blood and gore

Loved ones back home on the young soldiers mind

Wondering if he made the  right choice left the opportunities behind

The picture reminds him of his greatest joy.. His son

Tanner and his wife becca fade away as he grabs his gun

Grabs his bag and hustles out with his brothers In arm

Gunshots break the silence like a smoke alarm

Men fall on his sides as he watches bullets hit his Sargent

He can tell from the sound that they found their target 

 

President declares war for his own gain

Doesn't matter to him that his actions cause pain

Through our clouded judgement evil has risen to fame

 

No one sees the truth of his vicious intentions

The truth is evil not the lies that he mention

Through our clouded judgement evil has risen to fame

Evil has risen to fame

 

Fear fills the mind of the young soldier who has all to live for

He wishes the violence to cease yet the bullets proclaim more

Bullet hits his shoulder yet he pushes through the fight

Battle never resides through the day and the night

Young tanner's face pops into the soldiers thoughts

Fingers grasp around the gun his government bought

The fear of death takes a grip on his heart

His leader was the enemy from the start

Pushes through clutching the hope of return

Like his life is the leaders concern?

The only thing hoped for is personal gain 

The leaders intentions cause the young soldier pain

 

President declares war for his own gain

Doesn't matter to him that his actions cause pain

Through our clouded judgement evil has risen to fame

No one sees the truth of his vicious intentions

The truth is evil not the lies that he mention

Through our clouded judgement evil has risen to fame

Evil has risen to fame
