I have heard the terrible sound of guns The sound stays in the brain like a favorite song a necessary evil. I'm no boy, but still can’t be claimed a Man... God, is the eternal landlord and our rent is past due. It's a tremendous responsibility to treat my enemies fairly. Even though they caused the death of so many before me I hear prays to God to get us through this day. torrent of darkness, bones in graves. Sleep on clay, dog-tags on display. Uncommon Valor and Military Conflicts Women and guns, this is every man’s dream. How bravely the flags walk So much terror when the bombs drop. Yet war shapes the way we live. Bedtime stories of heroes engaged, defending our right to live as the generation aged. The smell of napalm at dawn is calming. While I'm eating my Apple Jacks, I won’t fear an attack. It seems God spoke on top of Mount Arafat... What happened? Some Arab left the Twin Towers flat... Don’t cry through blood and thunder write the gun Ballad and Use the frontline to strike back and plunder. North Americans fight like distinguished gentlemen in the lands where polygamy isn’t considered sin. As our regime takes shots of medicine the blood doesn't trickle, it sprays It never gets easier, it hurts every time Was born with a wish and pellet gun. Hunting soldiers like the fish and pelican Above God, my apostles cheer me Did you hear the Desert Eagle consumed from the moon till the sun changed The man in me evolves with my vanity Clinical insanity. In war I wait for the gun to blast me A true black Christmas! Should we obey God's voice? How shall we hear it over the War's noise? Bloody tears, poem pages soaked in sweat My target praying on a Persian mat American man caught in bullets, Yet feel no pain, Asleep I saw Muslims and Christians at peace. a dream I don’t want to cease - If I cant bend Heaven, I shall move Hell - [This message has been edited by Def-init (07-14-2009 11:12 PM).] |
