The Killing Floor - Dendera

Run, attack, don’t look back

The orders you’ve been given

Running at pace, you charge the attack

A soldier’s life you’re living

Taking them down, in the cities and towns

While lives blow up in smoke

The gunfire reign, how it echoes again

The battlefield’s no joke

You want to go home and you promise you will

As your candle lies lit on your home windowsill

It no longer matters what’s wrong and what’s right

They strengthen your will and prepare you to fight

You say your goodbyes to the ones that you love

While the enemy scatters the skies up above

The gunfire echoes all over this land

The bringer of death in the palm of your hand

All is fair in love and war

While civilians they run for their lives

What are we fighting for?

You pray that you see morning light

They say you’re too young to go to war

For your country a battle you fight

Now you’re on the killing floor

You won’t leave the battle tonight

Surrounded by news, your family await

To hear you’re alive or if you’re M.I.A.

The people that you love have now been cast aside

By the fear and the pain of the battle you fight

For the glory you fight as you fire your round

For the good or the bad whether freedom be found

The battle is long for the ending you crave

You’re leading the fight to their imminent grave

All is fair in love and war

While civilians they run for their lives

What are we fighting for?

You pray that you see morning light

They say you’re too young to go to war

For your country a battle you fight

Now you’re on the killing floor

You won’t leave the battle tonight

Stuck down here in no mans' land

So you make your final stand

The enemy in the desert sand

Rounds of gunfire you withstand
