From the battlefield

お聴きいただきありがとうございます。味方に銃口を向けるような権力はいずれ瓦解すると思います。 ---------------- [Intro][Instrumental] [Verse 1] Dear Mom, I was wrong Thought I'd be sent where the sand blows strong Why are we here on city streets? This isn't where the war was supposed to be [Verse 2] No enemy flag, no foreign face Just our own folks in this broken place Guns are raised at the ones we know Is this the freedom we were told? [Verse 1] Forgive me, Mom, I see it now We're guarding power, we took that vow Orders come, no matter how mad We're taught to follow—good or bad [Verse 2] We shoot if they don’t obey I beg them—please don’t make us pay No rocks, no flames, don’t push us there Don’t make us fire in pure despair [Chorus] You know how it ends when fear holds sway When guns make rules and lives are played They use the people as their shield Their honor forged on blood-stained steel [Bridge] Remember the island, the bitter cry The grenades handed out with no goodbye “Not to fight,” they said, “but die”— You know the weight behind that lie For honor's sake, they shut the door Surrender wasn’t [Organ solo] [Final Chorus – Female Choir] War makes hearts and minds go blind And we don't know what we leave behind Before I lose what’s left of me I dream of walking free [Outro] But they won’t set me free They won’t set me free [End] -------------------- Original lyrics and arrangement by Spectroscopy7 Copyright © 2025 Spectroscopy7
