Massacre

The flag lies tattered on the floor,
Lost and abandoned, from the war,
When two armies met up in the night,
To fight for what they thought was right,
They killed ‘til they settled the score.

And then the battle was just done,
No one lost and no one won,
It was simply a massacre,
The words whipped by me in a blur,
Then I hear the shot of a gun.

And our Sargent couldn't cope,
He knew there was no hope,
And he was all outta his dope.
The leader of our men,
Put a gun to his head,
Pulled the trigger to the end.

We still ran forward as we planned,
An army at war with no command,
Some nutter's armed with SA80's,
To bring others to their knees,
And smother blood across the lands.

And then the battle was just done,
No one lost and no one won,
It was simply a massacre,
The words whipped by me in a blur,
Then I hear the shot of a gun.

Our army officials are dead,
There's no need to pretend,
It's not like we depend on them.
They can't have been so damn strong,
If they couldn't hold on,
And then the battle was drawn.

I hate being a part of all this pain,
Wish it would stop and it would change,
Why take the lives of those who're loved?
And send them to heaven up above,
When they have families just like us.

They got people back at home,
And who are we to make them go?
Their loved ones will never know,
How the story finishes,
How their hearts war diminishes.

Under different circumstances,
There's have been more happy chances,
For us all to get along.
And with another occasion,
Where we weren't in invasion,
I might be singing another song.

And then the battle was just done,
No one lost and no one won,
It was simply a massacre,
The words whipped by me in a blur,
Then I hear the shot of a gun.
