Sacrifices
I cannot touch the sand
The unease of the coarse grain
Pressing my foot down, terror rises
I'm a killer
1, 2, 3, 4
5, 6, 7, 8
Body count
Three hours of sleep
All that my demons allow me
I walked with nightmares
I sacrificed... for them
I sacrificed... for them
I sacrificed... for them
Fighting under banners
Flying high for freedom
I became the prisoner
War is art, painted in blood.
Live the life I cannot
Hear the fireworks
Touch the sand
I sacrificed these for you.
Words of a soldier, interpreted by me
