At dawn’s new day it’s above a hundred degrees, it takes all that you got just to struggle to your knees
The site that greets your eyes is a silhouette of jagged lines, it’s all that’s left of a skyline ripped by bombs and mines
Still tired and dried out, so dry you don’t even have to piss, sniper shot, bullet ricochets yet another near miss
In a roar of gunfire, the sniper’s challenge is given a reply, just another day in the mid-east rubble waiting to see if it’s your turn to die.

Here we go-We got to find the splinter cell
Here we go-Another day in desert Hell
Here we go-Making our way through the streets
Here we go-Nowhere to hide from the heat

We walk the living
As the spirits of the dead reach out as one
All the souls among us while their bones and shields are bleaching out in the sun

You’re patrolling the road trying to keep the peace, but in the back of your mind you’re waiting for a car bomb to be released
Flying recon in a chopper you think that you are safe, but one zealot with a rocket launcher is enough shake your faith
Young and old and women dying too, innocents, all of them, for their freedom to look to you
In a war of terror, nobody really wins, the best you can hope is to be the one with the fewest sins

Here we go-We’re out to save the innocent
Here we go-Another bed of cracked cement
Here we go-To fight for freedom for us all
Here we go-To put their backs against the wall

You ask why you’re fighting, you’re loved ones keep crying
But you keep on saying, Have Faith, Hope, Trust and Pray
Believe in yourself, believe in what is true, be true to all around you
And you and your friends will see you through

Here we go-We’re on a mission to kill’em all
Here we go-We’re on a mission to keep the peace
Here we go-We’re out to show them shock and awe
Here we go-We’re out to get back in one piece

Beneath your heart are the reasons you want to continue
Your family’s picture, retreating in the darkness
You must protect them from all of us now

We expect you to save everyone of us
We expect you to save everyone of us
We expect you to save everyone of us
We expect you to save everyone of us

And in the distant call are forces of the resistance
The angels are pulling us out of our time
You look for the answer, but you dream you need to survive
Humanity's fading as you climb

You ask why you’re fighting, your loved ones keep crying,

Within this life on life, we have to find a way to keep our self control

but you keep on saying have Faith, Hope, Trust and Pray. Believe in yourself, believe in what is true,

I have my prinicipals, I have the morals that I learned before I lost my name

be true to all around you and you and your friends will see you through.

We need an end in sight...to survive!
