So we soldiered on Because the lives we led were held on battlefields. We trudged onward But it felt like we were stuck there forever Amidst the crossfire. Dodging make believe bullets That whistled sweet melodies to our ears. We were camouflage. Trekking undetected Through the world. But the war is over. A few casualties still unaccounted for On the bloodied floors. Whatever happened to no man left behind?

Camouflage
So we soldiered on Because the lives we led were held on battlefields. We trudged onward But it felt like we were stuck there forever Amidst the crossfire. Dodging make believe bullets That whistled sweet melodies to our ears. We were camouflage. Trekking undetected Through the world. But the war is over. A few casualties still unaccounted for On the bloodied floors. Whatever happened to no man left behind?
