Corrupted Heroes
Demons on his mind so he makes a confession,
God please forgive me lead me in the right direction,
He grips the cold metal in his search for protection,
He takes a deep breathe now his mind starts to question,
This was nothing like they said when they had their first impression,
But he has to prove his loyalty and teach these fools a lesson,
His uncle said “I want you to kill”
It just doesn’t feel right, right?
To take innocent lives, he might
Go crazy but its all said done now,
Tricked the others so they like to kill for fun now,
Sundown is when the trouble starts each day,
Evil lurks in the night time cliché,
He takes a step as his soul starts to decay,
A smirk on his sergeants face as he starts to say,
“Left, right, left, right and another left,
We’re taking land from the people who don’t pose a threat.”
America, America
They do it for America,
Talking about corrupted heroes and its scaring ya.
It’s the star spangled banner pledge your allegiance,
America won’t hesitate to take it if we need it.
The soldier storms through the door followed by another,
Guns pointed at the boy and his little brother,
His trigger happy partner is a psycho undercover,
Boom! Goes the rifle as it takes the life from the mother,
“No other life will be taken!”
He tells his partner as he hopes his mind is forsaken,
Sorely mistaken his inner evil was awakened,
Eyes closed trigger pulled no time for contemplating,
Now there’s blood on the military M16,
Grazed his uniform but the flag is still clean,
His partner wipes the blood then he leaves the scene,
Disgusted with the situation so he starts to scream,
Seems that the boy didn’t take his last breathe,
Leave him in misery or does he lead him to his death,
His souls chewed out now there’s nothing left,
To send him to his family is his last request,
He pulls the trigger and he sends him to a better place,
A cold hearted tear slowly runs down his face,
His heart will rest in peace and his soul will be saved,
For the land of the free and the home of the brave.
