My body spins
As it enters a battle
One where no one wins
Each swing a struggle

The swords clang and clatter
While we fight and scream
Glory or pain, it doesn't matter
It's all hazy, like a dream

As the battle goes on
Reason is lost in this fight
In this war all there is,
Is an enemy in sight

So why do we shed blood
And hurt others without cause
Push them into the mud
And **** without pause?

Because it's not about us
Or the enemies in the fray
It's about those who trust
That we'll return safely one day
