Purple Heart

Who threw up the white flag when the bodies grew too great? Felt the harsh Grip of failure and sent it sailing high. What happened to the code of honor we used to entrust? Ideas once carved in Stone have now turned to dust. Where is the oath we swore our allegiance to? Convictions cheapened by all The noise these boys make while dressed like men. When's the pure disgust gonna rear it's ugly head? Stirred by anyone, Everything, tries to crumble what we've built. Why have I been so blind to the traitors of my faith? What has come to Pass, now seems so obvious. How can I not grit my teeth, or place my tongue In my cheek, when I say: When I say: No more room here for the bastard thieves who steal hearts and Disappear. No room for those who come apart at the bayonet's gleam. So Please show me someone who won't retreat, someone who's gonna stay frosty When the guns and cannons begin to erupt; someone, as they are painted with Blood and guts. Show me. Show me someone who will march forward when the smoke clears.
