My enemy and i Lyrics by Clandestien

0

How's it going man time has flown
Tell my mother and little brother I'll soon be home
My time's short only 2 months left before I board and ship out and take a rest
Always on edge damn my hand shakes I've just been 2 weeks in the bush Now I'm on a 3 day break
That's why I'm writing do my duty or die trying
Don't worry but we lost 2 guys in some firefighting
Remember Kev? Yeah he caught one in the chest knocked him down with a round deflected off his flak vest
Lucky bastard mustn't have been his time some live some die now I just don't ask why
I just keep going if it comes I don't wanna be knowing just let it be quick
But I think soon I'll be coming home
But either way I keep my head down and pray
Knowing it's only a few more weeks, a few more days before I see your face, man I can't wait
I stay up late thinking, but I can't sleep anyways
I tell it straight and I said I wouldn't lie
Killed a man with a gun in my hand and watched him die
First time is hard third time is easy but it was either him or me you see you gotta believe me
I didn't want to do it but this war is shit
In the village they butcher the men, women and little kids
Have you seen the reports or read it in the news?
And what your friends say about me being here isn't true
I didn't ask, this letter will be the last so say good day to my mother and give a hug to little Mark
Big brother it's me mark I asked mother and so she helped me start
I'm well feeling great still doing my art writings hard
Your girlfriend helping with my spelling mistakes
Did you tell her to kiss and hug me? Thanks a lot now I got girl germs
Her and mommy are worried they go to church
I think they pray for you they say so it won't hurt
Anyway I'm getting older I'm big now
I'm gonna grow up like you and be a soldier
I told her yesterday and she started to cry, cause I scraped my knee playing armies outside
She's so silly I think she's getting old
She can't ever find me to sting me with the Dettol
My friends say stuff like a mortar hit you but don't worry though I got them back with my water pistol
I sorta miss you I'm still having fun though hurry up and win the war so you can come home
Then we can go out to the garden and play GI Joes with the empty carton I made into a base
Well have a great time you should see my new soldier Snake Eyes
Anyway I'm running out of room so go get the baddies bro and I'll see you soon
Dear ma'am I'm writing with regret to inform you of a passing, your loved one's death
For me it's not easy, for you even harder
But there's always light when it gets darker
Mastering his moves you would've been proud
A lesser man couldn't walk a day in his boots
Around enemy fire he kept his cool while others broke out into pools of sweat
Tools were checked he accepted the rules in order to succeed we must sacrifice in the form of a life
Even if that means only the wife will be taking the children to school
With all due respect the defence forces is a tight group
Your son did exactly what he was asked to do
You raised a child to be a man with heart
Yours sincerely, officer in charge
