WAR SONGS
No one is singing war songs like they use to sing before. No more Halls of Montezuma or "Johnny's" any more. Did we finally ask the question no one thought to ask before? With all the pain this madness brings, what were we singing for?
I volunteered for freedom; to fight to keep it free. I loved my country dearly and prayed that it loved me. They gave me pride and honor to stand among the few. They showed me what I stood for and things that I must do. But they left out all the heart-ache, the sorrow and the pain. I never thought I'd leave my home and not return the same.
The Corps is a jealous mistress with a lust from passion's fire. She'll steal a young man's heart away and keep it 'til he dies. I lost my heart at seventeen to a Corp of red and gold. I was proud to fight among the ranks of Marine Corp brave and bold.
When we fought for freedom and died to keep it free, who cared about my brothers and wives they would not see. I was just a soldier fighting for my land. We were all in love with freedom. United we would stand.
