Friendly Fire

Shooting from behind
Spitting from the left
How long I'll stay alive
When blood flows down my back

Fratricidal slaughter
No enemy to observe
Premeditated murder
To await the final shot

We were on the same side
Don't know when I close my eyes
Suicidal duteousness
Homicidal helplessness
Hostile fire all I see
Terminal supremacy
Death could be the only way
To get out of this place

Friendly fire
Compassion is lost
Friendly fire
Friendly fire blast

Napalm hell surrounded me
Screeching gatling guns
Hissing fifty BMGs
Among the eagles and the stars

I would trade my finest gold
To shoot that fellows down
Within the peaceful skies above
And leave that firestorm

We were on the same side
Don't know when I close my eyes
Suicidal duteousness
Homicidal helplessness

Hostile fire all I see
Terminal supremacy
Death could be the only way
To get out of this place

Friendly fire
Compassion is lost
Friendly fire
Friendly fire blast

My comrade is lying next to mine
He stopped the bullet destined for me
Spreading guts that burned my eyes
No more control in that crimson tide

The friendly terror's final end
My comrade's blood, mixed with mine
Calling out from depth of souls
The warm red blood that turns to slime

Friendly fire
Compassion is lost
Friendly fire
Friendly fire blast
