Pursuit of Character

Gunshots comming from the air

Trying to take your life

Hoping it will end it all

Hope to end the strife



Theres no way that it will end

Humans slip away

Look what war can do to man

Change comes day by day



Ready to take one more man's life

Just take a look at you

Peace is not an option

Humanity almost through



Now that your a different man

No one will recognize

Try to look into your soul

Look through into your eyes

(Try to see past the lies)



Look down and see the machine gun

Held tight in your hands

Bullets shot right by your face

Come from across the land



You think you've found your place in life

Trying to play the role of god

You decide who dies and lives

Never will you stop
