Another dawn alights this battered desert Time has stood still in this wasteland Blood soaked soldiers painted by decay The gods have averted their gaze from this corner of mankind (mayhem) Bombs waking the dead Sleep deprivation & churning bellies Cast down the stars one by one Because I wont waste another bullet... Another bullet for the wounded Another fallout, another stalemate The finger on the atom bomb trigger is getting itchy Glitch in the system, systematic devastation These zombie eyes are so hollow Bombs waking the dead Sleep deprivation & churning bellies Cast down the stars one by one Because I wont waste another bullet... Another bullet for the wounded Pale and bloated corpses line the wartorn streets Machine gun fires as intrepid heroes rise Who is watching my six? Who's got my back now? God? Man? Bleeding out and shedding crimson tears Dear God why have you cast me into the flames? Mother, Father why have your hearts abandoned me? And all I crave now is the sweet release of death's raven claws in my veins Hazy vision, it all seemed so simple in the beginning Dazed and breathing shallow, inside and out God please save me one more bullet for my visage Dear God why have you cast me into this purgatory? Mother, Father why have your angels abandoned me? I will not save another bullet for the wounded... I will not shed not one more solitary tear I will swallow my reverie, my death rant is my eulogy Sound the funereal bells, this war is over I summon the dark I am a weak timber falling with no one to hear my passing Heartbeats throbbing in my temples As I grab this death vehicle & bring it to my face I wont waste another bullet for the wounded I think I will save it for myself Click--

Bullet For The Wounded
