Soon this short Icharion flight Is coming to an end And on that day you'll mourn the rights You chose not to defend Passing on the plight of patriots We piddle on their graves Play sad songs and hold our hearts While the blood spattered banner waves But the cries of a billion tiny voices As they cry themselves to sleep Can't be heard above Lee Greenwood As the tears streak down our cheeks It's awfully sad to see such things In such a sorry state But ignorance is only bliss Until it's your head on the stake Our eyes attract to shiny things Bright lights like fishing lures Robbed at gunpoint before we're paid We're either soldiers or we're ****** As these toxins trace my tiny veins And seep through every cell I can't help but taste distain And think that this has to be Hell

Icharion Flight
Soon this short Icharion flight Is coming to an end And on that day you'll mourn the rights You chose not to defend Passing on the plight of patriots We piddle on their graves Play sad songs and hold our hearts While the blood spattered banner waves But the cries of a billion tiny voices As they cry themselves to sleep Can't be heard above Lee Greenwood As the tears streak down our cheeks It's awfully sad to see such things In such a sorry state But ignorance is only bliss Until it's your head on the stake Our eyes attract to shiny things Bright lights like fishing lures Robbed at gunpoint before we're paid We're either soldiers or we're ****** As these toxins trace my tiny veins And seep through every cell I can't help but taste distain And think that this has to be Hell
