Thank God for there is a war
An opportunity for the poor
To get pushed out to the fore
And protect the ones they love...
Yeah embrace the ones they love...

So when I speak of protecting my own I am not being literal
When in fact I am far, far away
Only to be able to provide them with the basics

No one thought he had it in him
But he was under command
And someone found a reason to produce death by his hand
He took the life of another man

And in horrible flashes of fear and fright
I am forced to reexperience this incident every night
I have to get up every day, knowing that the one thing i wanted for my loved ones
Is the exact same thing I took away from someone else
