("what are you talking about? america isn't going to be destroyed" 
"never? Rome was destroyed, Greece was destroyed, Persia was destroyed, Spain was destroyed. All great countries are destroyed. Why not yours? how much longer do you really think your own country will last? forever?") 

block the entrances 
close the doors 
seal the exits 
because this is war 

all gave some 
some gave all 
but for what 
I want to know 

carry on 
don't mind me 
all I gave was everything 
and yet you ask me for more 
fought your fight 
bought your lie 
and in return I lost my life 
what purpose does this serve? 

a folded flag 
a purple heart 
a family all but torn apart 
i fought with courage to preserve 
not my way of life, but yours 

carry on 
don't mind me 
all I gave was everything 
and yet you ask me for more 
fought your fight 
bought your lie 
and in return I lost my life 
what purpose does this serve? 

the cowards preach from pedestals 
with words like courage and resolve 
but what they meant was [bad word] them all 
because freedom isn't free 

they send our daughters and our sons 
to deserts under burning sUns 
a sacrificial slaughtering to fill 
the pockets of the weak 
an artificial enemy 
are we so easily deceived? 

("you're a shameful opportunist! what you don't understand is that it's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees. 
"you have it backwards. it's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees. i know") 

carry on 
just walk away 
how many more sent to their graves 
in this lesson ignored? 
i fought your fight 
bought your lie 
and in return I lost my life 
what purpose does this serve? 
what purpose did I serve?
