lyrics

My friend is lying down
The stare of death has no sound
Music explosion confusion
The show must go on

Waves of heat from the earth
Hot sun witness to the doom

Carpet of bodies, Rug of corpses
Feeding the black rats
It’s raining shells, Haze of dust

So many dead, A sea of red
Despair is like a flood
Moving to the river of blood
So afraid to die
Fear keeps me alive
To protect my loved ones
To take back what’s ours

Doc gave me my pill
Avoid being ill
Side effects are great
I don’t care, I hate
Going forward to our fate

Some time to rest
The stench is so bad
I may be going mad

Wind is hard and dry
Another storm of dust

So many dead, A sea of red
Despair is like a flood
Moving to the river of blood
So afraid to die
Fear keeps me alive
To protect my loved ones
To take back what’s ours

Here we go again
Walking beside a tank
Blocking out the pain
Tagged by snipers
Replied with gunners
Over my head jet fighters
Followed by vultures

Time to write a letter
Half a soup, half a bed
Life couldn’t be better
Had 10 kills today
Friendly competition
Brain malfunction
Not a video game to play

So many dead, A sea of red
Despair is like a flood
Moving to the river of blood
So afraid to die
Fear keeps me alive
To protect my loved ones
To take back what’s ours

Fell in love with BBT recently, absolutely love the stories they tell and the music. Very sad to hear about David’s passing, listening now is quite moving, moved to tears from time to time, but we move on as I hope BBT will with David in our hearts. tonyauroristony58
