Grenades & Mines

When red roses turn to bloody blades

In our garden where a war is waged

And you feel that you just can’t complain

You’d like to die

Can you take out all the bullets inside

When I bleed in the foxhole I hide

Shaking while pain overides my pride
The die is cast…I can’t deny

Don’t take my life … but I‘m ready to die
For this flag I fly
Throw..throw down your guns
When all ammo is gone
It’s just you and I

Do you know where the barbed wires end?
Or when these shrapnel wounds would begin to mend?
When the enemy surrounds your gate…
You suffocate

You jump and crawl from all the grenades and mines
Eat meager honesty like a rich man dines
But when the swords slashes you up from inside
You begin to fade…

Don’t take my life … but I‘m ready to die
For this flag I fly
Throw..throw down your guns
When all ammo is gone
It’s just you and I

Did you burn your hands holding shells
Firing back at the enemy’s fence
When your back feels the bayonet’s end
You begin to sigh…but hope won’t die

Don’t take my life … but I‘m ready to die
For this flag I fly
Throw..throw down your guns
When all ammo is gone
It’s just you and I
