Look into a child's eyes
See they are filled with tears.
'What if I should die tonight?'
Is one of her greatest fears.
For in her city, no night is silent
and on the horizon, the sun has never set
the streets are colored crimson
peace will not be met.

A mother cries 'Don't leave me!'
'It is my duty,' is what he said.
Soon she reads a letter,
her only son is dead.
Another child taken,
another coffin laid
with the flag of freedom
and hopes that his memory wont fade.

Sadness will overtake us
we cannot run nor hide.
It creeps into our hearts and lives
as we mourn for those who've died.
Our men an women all fought bravely
but silently they fall.
Please stop this foolish thing called war
before it kills us all.

All our tears flow
for all the blood shed
for eveything we've lost
and for all the people dead.
'They died for honor and for duty.'
and this is what we think is right,
but is any life ever worth
this long and aweful fight?

Mothers are crying
their children are dying
and bodies are lying
a thousand miles from home.

In the fight with war
no one ever wins.

Marine, were you being sarcastic?

Because I thought the Revolution was fought so that we COULD have freedoms and liberties.


With things the way they are now, it looks like we need another good 'ol Revolution.

Your right, we didn't win freedom or anything when the revolution was over.
