The sting of steel and the hiss of the blade is my only home
I watch as my comrades are hacked to pieces and I laugh
I know I will never go down, then, the blade comes for me
And I listen as the blood leaves my body, someone is laughing
The heat of the jungle is the closest thing to a home I will have
I watch as the prey lives in its huts oblivious to my approach
I listen as they talk and know where they will be
And when I stalk up, they ambush me and I die an ignominious death
The sound of rifle fire and the buzz of the bullet are what I trust in
I listen as men and machines fight and die,
And im saddened by the extent of the madness
Then its my turn and I fight and die, just like all the other grunts
I listen as the enemy sneak around and there is nothing I can do
I watch as their men haul supplies and think
That every dead one of them is one less that could kill me
And as I pull a milkrun patrol, I step wrong and die yet again
Now I look back and see what happened
And I realize its in my blood to fight, to go to war
Then I look back again and see that it has killed me every time
And I decide this time I will not die like that and will do something
