Smoke and dust, enemies are crushed
Nothing left, where a man once stood
I am the one, camouflage and guns
Risk my life to keep my people from harm
Authority, vested in me
I sacrifice with my brothers in arms
Through this doorway, what's on the other side
Never knowing exactly what I'll find
Locked and loaded, voices screaming let's go!
Come on do it, here we go!
I'll take a life, that others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
Shut my eyes, it hammers in my head
Where it'll end, nobody knows
I'll take a life, ten others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
It's playing over and over in my head
Where it'll end, nobody knows
[2x]
Stay the course, reasonable force
I believe I serve a greater good
Through this doorway, what's on the other side
Never knowing exactly what I'll find
Locked and loaded, voices screaming let's go!
But I'm just doing what I'm told
I'll take a life, that others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
Shut my eyes, it hammers in my head
Where it'll end, nobody knows
I'll take a life, that others may live
Oh, that's just the way it goes
Shut my eyes, it hammers in my head
Hey go!
And you can all hide behind your desks now
And you can cry, teacher come help me
Through you all, my aim is true
My aim is true
