As long as humans have roamed the Earth
There have been men that rose to lead them...
Open wide the gates of hell
Take these men to sate my pride
Collect the guns of those that fell
Lieutenant to the flank to pierce their side
Battle lust
Turns men to dust
Causalities grow by the hour
Endless supply of men is true power
Boots on the ground
A burial mound
Impossible feats
Done by elites
The leaders of men
And the lives they expend
Bombs, guns, hand to hand
Take that hill that's my command
Blood and guts are mine to spill
Send the boys in dressed to kill
Fight the enemy in their homeland
Crush their will, our upper hand
Burn the cities of our foes
In all out war, anything goes
Dawn breaks and the light shows the dead
Spirits still linger in repose
Leaders of men send scores to die
Honor their souls and then move on
Keep moving forward
Another day, another fire fight
Damn the shell shocked and fatigued
Forced to act when called upon
Open wide the gates of hell
Take these men to sate my pride
Collect the guns of those that fell
Lieutenant to the flank to pierce their side
Bombs, guns, hand to hand
Take that hill that's my command
Blood and guts are mine to spill
Send the boys, dressed to kill
Fight the enemy in their homeland
Crush their will, our upper hand
Burn the cities of our foes
In all out war, anything goes
Men Fight Wars
Leaders Win Wars
That's the way it has always been
That's the way it will always be
Civilians in the crossfire
It's the same old story
The enlisted pay the price
While leaders get the glory
Don't shoot till you see the
Whites of their eyes
Let go of your conscience
Make their death your prize
Your orders are gospel
And your honor is you
Your determination will
Make you join the few
