about

Unintelligible.

lyrics

down by the river
with the washed out banks
felt the whole world quiver
and the lord gave thanks
puffed your chest out bigger
and joined the ranks
as a corporal gunner
on pattons tanks

a blue sky burst
as the grey smoke rose
her lips were pursed
in the picture froze
hip pocket bible
tucked in the folds
letters not yet
sent back home

flames can only burn
pain can only hurt you
death can only come
you can only die once

king of the battle
old red legs
combat rattle
bacon and eggs
teeth in the gravel
coffee cup dregs
you wanted to travel
and the army pays

up over the hill
and under the wire
bird in the grill
of a truck on fire
suicide pill
black hood choir
time stood still
in a spray of gunfire

flames can only burn
pain can only hurt you
death can only come
you can only die once

mud in your boots
blood in your mouth
sweat in your eyes
rain coming down
and you can't see far
low hanging clouds
explosions overhead
PL just checked out

just before
everything went black
an image in your mind
took you back
to the days before
the start of the war
when you kissed your love
on her parents porch

flames can only burn
pain can only hurt you
death can only come
you can only die once

flames can only burn
pain can only hurt you
death can only come
you can only die once
