Came in this morning high on a bird's wing

Quite open minded but still quite aware

Followed the sunrise right through from dawning

Picking out landmarks that said I was there

Led to positions by stern faced leaders

Who never let one smile depart from their face 



Then with an arm raise the slaughter is started

One or two crack up and start to cry

Selfishness breeds in this cesspool of sorrow

Every few moments I see I friend die

Synchronized watches flash in the sunlight

As into the battle we are all led 



Killer, killer, keep your thoughts at bay

Maiming, destroying, every single day

Is this the way that you get your fun

Slaying, waylaying, in the heat of the midday sun 



Get out, get out, go and do your job

Rape and pillage, squander all and rob

You make me sick, getting paid for murder

You wouldn't lay a finger on your mother, oh no

You never ever dream to hurt her 



Hero, hero, you have done so well

So sit back and lick your wounds, cause you won't go to hell

Take your medal, wear it now with pride

Consolation for the pain and sin you feel inside
