Bound by Silence - Metal Allegiance, John Bush

Followed Dad’s steps

Uncle Sam gleams

Sleepless desert nights

New York City dreams

Walking 5th Avenue

In combat fatigues

Spit and thrown shit on

By media exposed siege

Moon glares bigger

Hold its power

Life hanging thin

Gazing stars towered

Purpose and vengeance

Strapping on gear

Ready for combat

Embarking with no fear

Silenced by all

Signing the act

War on the world

Bound by silence

Silenced by all

Life in secrecy

Signing the act

Eyes betraying me

War on the world

Bound by silence

Terrorize no more

Dreadful silent nights

Stepped in dead graves

Second squad up

Blood pouring waves

Firing blind in night

Blood on the grass

Branches whipping 'round

Tripping by unseen brass

Dark all around

Blood gleaming through

Bodies laid to waste

Nothing no one could do

Enemy grants terror

Thrown in dirt cover

Flashes and loud cracks

Ambush and recover

Silenced by all

Signing the act

War on the world

Bound by silence

Silenced by all

Life in secrecy

Signing the act

Eyes betraying me

War on the world

Desecrating all

Bound by silence

Drafted by fear

Serving the command

The convoy defeated

Not heroic or grand

Legacy cemented

Survivor remorse

No escaping the memory

Nightmare by force

Seized his worth

Kept in confinement

Fear, hope and truth

Displayed no sorrow

War on the world

Desecrating all

Bound by silence

Bound by silence

Sounds penetrate through

Underground caves come

Stomach cramping up

Triggered by forced thumb

Cold punch of lead

Pulverizing veins

Ripping out bones

Leaves you instantly drained

Scream cease fire

Boys laid dead

Blood pooling beneath

Gleaming in dark red

Lips ripped away

Baring broken teeth

Empty eye sockets

Holding sacred keys

Silenced by all

Signing the act

War on the world

Bound by silence

Silenced by all

Life in secrecy

Signing the act

Eyes betraying me

War on the world

Desecrating all

Bound by silence
