Soldiers all go marching into battle, moving slowly on across the ground Tracks of tanks flatten the sand beneath them, soon to be replaced by human flesh Loved ones left behind are not forgotten, memories kept fresh by photographs The will of the politicians is forced and now soldiers kill to make them proud They can feel the spirit that they will kill for Now the soldiers have become their god... Arrogance now fuels the need for conquest - nuclear chemistry is the god Capitol approaches in the distance - enemy waiting in their walls As the first attack is launched upon them, you could see the passion in their eyes Eyes that would soon be ruptured and removed, by the weapons that will take their life They can feel the spirit that they will kill for Now the soldiers have become their god Pieces of human blasting through the air The conclusion will not end in life (Solo: Chavez) As they look into the sky They die with pride in their eye...
