There was a place for us all
A man to a boat
A foot to a boot
A hand to a Gun

They told such fluid lies
We believed

So we marched
We marched
where belief replaced food
where pride eclipsed wisdom

Into fire unimagined in Hell
Into dirt rain
Thick cloying airs
and always always the screaming

There was a place for us all
A man to a boat
A foot to a boot
A hand to a Gun

Yet here I lie
Cold bootless
not even a coffin my own
and here a place for us all

I aint as good as I once was but I'm as good, once, as I ever was. - Toby Keith

I'll keep these dreams hidden
inside these eyes of mine
until my tears fall
unto my tainted hear
