DEATH IS

Death is for those who need dying

Death comes to those who aren’t trying

Death comes to loved ones left crying

Death rules those who are denying.

Some will call me a warrior, a killer

I am what my country needed me to be

Maybe I’m a little bit of a savior

Who went in harm’s way so you could be free.

Death has taken so many of my brothers

Death made sad women of their mothers

Death destroyed fiancés and many others

Death is the only one it never bothers.

I went over there because I was given no choice

Couldn’t protest as I had no voice

Upping the body count and fill out the invoice

Kill all emotion and learn to rejoice

Death has placed them all in neat rows

Death makes sure a cemetery grows

Death claims all the soldiers it ever knows

Death gives them all tags on their toes

All of us are coming back here to our home

Every man vows he is done with war and never will roam

Mind and body stressed by an alien syndrome

We’re mad as dogs spitting up foam.

Death is going to finally set us all free

Death will put us in the ground for you and me

Death won’t say who the winners will be

Death is the final Liberty.
