Covering Fire

Praying I'm not the next one at the front of the line Ghastly voices telling me I have to stay alive I cannot remember one day I didn't kill Their weakening faces haunt me forever, still Chorus: Piercing through the flesh, tearing the wounds open more Cutting them down, one by one Consequences are for those who do not reign supreme Killing for life I scream, "Covering fire!" Victims lie dead, shot to the head, spitting blood back in their face Gathering strength to make memories fade Of the fabled master race Peace: a part of the future War: a thing of the past Can this be reality... Or just a favor no man can ask? Chorus: Piercing through the flesh, tearing the wounds open more Cutting them down, one by one Consequences are for those who do not reign supreme Killing for life I scream, "Covering fire!" Glad to be the last one at the back of the line Ghastly voices telling me I had to stay alive I cannot remember one day I didn't kill Their weakening faces haunt me forever, still Chorus: Piercing through the flesh, tearing the wounds open more Cutting them down, one by one Consequences are for those who do not reign supreme Killing for life I scream, "Covering fire!"
