Goal in mind
Girl in his locket
Money in his hand
White knight in his pocket"Grab a seat,
We'll be there soon."
Takes one last glance
At the beautiful moonDoor bursts open
Some bodies file in
One sits across
The largest of the menThe doctor on the side
Board in the middle
The doctor takes your life
The board gives you littleBut resolution is made
There's no turning back
His pieces are all white
Flecks of blood on the blackWhiskey soaked rag
Gets rubbed on his arm
This doctor will kill you
Not keep you from harmThe host walks in
The timer starts
The game begins
The scariest part
I have a warrior's spirit
A yearning to fight
A need to protect
What I think is rightSo when my days are through
Don't tell me to rest in peace
I will fight to eternity for you
That peaceful shit ain't for me.

The Ballad of The Modern Soldier
I left home at eighteen
I left for a life that wasn't so clean
I learned how to kill another human being
So that my children could have dreams
I wrote my will at nineteen
Do you know what that meansI had learned to put others before me
Before I learned to do taxes
I learned to give up everything
So my friends could come back thenI had friends in college
And they go home now and then
I had friends downrange
that I will never see againI don't get paid alot
And I don't know the next time I'll be back
But so long as there's a fight to be fought
I have a hundred and sixty thousand brothers at my backSo don't worry about me
just enjoy your Mc-D'...

Bottles in his bag
Blood on the floor
Discard another rag
Fumble at the doorWeak fingers
And tiny keys
Pained arms
And weak kneesHe breathes deeply
And gets it open
He pauses briefly
Then calmly goes in"Darling you here?
I brought you some things."
Maybe she didn't hear
Maybe she's playing with dolls or dresses or shiny ringsHis mind begins to race
Hobbling down the hall
Knees fail without an air of grace
She's still sleeping through it all?The door opens up
And there she lies
She must have covered up
Before she died
Staring into his soul
With such empty eyes
Breaking his heart
Ignoring his cries
Ignoring his crimes
Ignoring his life and t...
