How scary it must be for you,
Praying not to die;
Seeing soldiers blown to bits,
Trying not to cry.

The anger you must feel inside,
Wanting to lash out;
As they yell and scream at you,
Listen to them shout.

It must feel so unsettled,
It must be so insane;
To hold in your emotion,
To cover up your pain.

How scary it must be for you,
Answering the call;
Put out by your country men,
As the buildings fall.

The hatred must well up inside,
And make you want to scream;
Zipping up those body bags,
Another dead Marine.

It must feel so unsettled,
It must be so insane;
To hold in your emotion,
To cover up your pain.

How crazy it must seem to you,
Amidst the blood and gore;
Knowing you will carry round,
These thoughts forever more.

You’ll always see the agony,
You’ll always hear the screams;
From this point on your life will be,
A horrifying dream.
