Fly

June 6th
1944
Five minutes
Till we hit the beach.
Men reduced to boys,
Fear will not release
Smell of death around;
It's coming for me.
Hear someone scream
You better keep your head down.
You feel terror
Overtaking you,
Captivates your mind,
Now you're gonna puke
You run with the blind,
Don't know what to do.
You hear someone scream,
You better keep your head down.
When the enemy flies
And tears they fall,
Breaking the ground that brace your fortress walls,
I see them coming for you
They're coming, gunning.
I rise
Above your fall.
Taking your place I will destroy them all.
My child you are mine;
Accept my sacrifice.
So many years later
Now that battle's won,
But it still remains,
Just a different form.
This is not a battle
Fought with sticks and stones.
This is not a war
Against flesh and bone.
You know the answer, you know the answer.
Pick up your cross and do another lap, son.
I will work through you.
When the enemy flies
And tears they fall,
Breaking the ground that brace your fortress walls,
I see them coming for you
They're coming, gunning.
I rise
Above your fall.
Taking your place I will destroy them all.
My child you are mine;
Accept my sacrifice.
I am not afraid
Of what they can do to my body,
'Cause it’s my heart that lives on.
I’m not ashamed to face the pain,
And scream your name, scream your name.
When the enemy flies
And tears they fall,
Breaking the ground that brace your fortress walls,
I see them coming for you
They're coming, gunning.
I rise
Above your fall.
Taking your place I will destroy them all.
My child you are mine;
Accept my sacrifice.
When they fly
And tears they fall,
Breaking the ground that brace your fortress walls,
I see them coming for you
They're coming, gunning.
I rise
Above your fall.
Taking your place I will defeat them all.
My child you are mine;
Accept my sacrifice.
