Attack

by Beautifully Disfigured   Jan 27, 2007


Dressed in black
Ready to fight
Darkness falls
And it's black as night

You hear the Sargeant call at last
Are you for the attack
You grab your boots, clothes, and gun
No, no, this isn't fun

Now you're running
Gun in hand
You're ready to fight
For your land

Running for safety
Her face in your mind
You say, "Sweet Charity"
As you leave camp behind

You hope to make it out
Before the last attack
Her face was still in your mind
As everything went black

Now I'm lying here crying
With Charity by my side
I can tell that inside she's dying
Though she tries hard not to cry

"He fought for us,
He fought to protect us.
He put his life in danger for us,
And he died for us."

Charity smiles a weak smile
Her eyes grow dim
Yes, it may take awhile
But she'll never get over him

Listen closely, my love
I understand that for us, you died
You held us above
So now, my love, I will say, "Good-Bye"
