i'm on the front line,
but was never prepared,
is this real life?
i hear the screaming,
smoke filling up the air,
is this real life?
move me up another square
for i am merely a pawn,
caught up in a game
that no man has won.
"is this real life?"
i begged them for answers,
they assured me that my death
was the only thing they're after;
with just enough courage,
i looked back and said,
"you may be the king,
but everyone else
wants you dead!"
