Life and point my rifle
I aim to kill the target
But stopped when I saw a child

I hesitated for a second
And was hit


And as I lay here in this cold damp dirt
In a country that is not my home
I think about my wife and my two young kids

And about dying alone
And all the glory they told me about
Was spilling out of my body in red

And all the stories they told me about
Those heros fighting for their country
Now mean nothing to me


And I know my wife will be praying
That God will let me in

But I have committed the ultimate sin
I killed for a living


And all the glory they told me about
Was spilling out of my body in red
And all the stories they told me about

Those heroes fighting for their country
Now mean nothing to me
