Casualty of War Lyrics


Life flashed before me as my eye surveyed the land

Before i knew it, I'd shot and killed this man

I gaze in horror at this corpse in front of me

I pray to God in heaven, but this hell is all I see

With distant gunshots, the screams of dying men

I know survival means that I'll have to kill again

(We're all dead) Casualty of War!

On the horizon, a pawn rides into sight

At last I now begin to see the dawning light

One crack of thunder and the man falls from his steed

I feel no remorse as I watch the soldier bleed

Keep moving onward, and I'm looking down a hill

I see one thousand men that I can't wait to kill

(We're all dead!) Casualty of War!

Just like a sniper, I drop them one by one

They run light frightened deer, but I'm steady with my gun

Then someone sees me and shots ring all around

I feel the sting of lead and then sink to the ground

Like all the others, I'm a casualty of war

I use my dying breaths to stand and kill some more

(We're all dead!) Casualty of War!
