How
I remember
the
glory of war
men
fought face to face
the
death toll was the score
The
killing fields filled
by
a cruel and barbarous hoard
men
who were led by their kings
wielding
their own sword
Cowards
they weren't
the
rulers I mean
they
road out in front
so
that they could be seen
Inspiring
their men
leading
them on
not
using the commoner
as
if they were a pawn
Today
things are different
the
kings don't go to war
they
lead from behind
from
a safe foreign shore
Sending
the soldier
to
reap the power they crave
while
all the while
they
stay huddled in caves
Staying
at home they're untouchable
at
least that's what they think
but
as the death toll rises
respect
for them will shrink
Why
do these leaders believe
there'll
be no consequence
when
waging their wars
at
the peoples expense
wars
were so much more civilized when the combatants had to postpone their
fighting because of darkness. putting on a third shift on was such a
wonderful way to increase the
productivity of the war machine.
