Boots on the Ground

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dan Bull] I'm imbued with the spirit of the English Tommy Dunno my kill count, it's bigger than the fingers on me Imma sing a song for the memory that lingers on When everything is gone and makes grown men scream for mommy You've never seen a zombie, until you've seen your best friend Trying to scoop his intestines back into his bleeding tummy Muffled battle tunes, hum and rattle through the shrapnel wounds Crushing out the fluid of the fruits of war like apple juice Thickly trickle all down the tricolour flag that's in tatters Its fabric is ragged and haggard, telling a France that is shattered That there's still a thread of hope somewhere through the telescope It's difficult to tell it though, invisible there's hella smoke That'll envelop and choke a delicate bloke into silence So telling a joke is a method of coping with violence You're thrown into darkness when even the stars are going out Fifty million little candles, blown out [Pre-Chorus] This is it, you already know It's okay, just get ready, go Your life, gotta lay it down Ain't no time to play around, everybody say it loud: [Chorus] I sacrifice myself I commit to the cause, no hesitation Fight, 'til there's no one left I am leading the charge against a nation Ain't gonna die, fighting in a war that I am bound Aim for the sky, but I'm keeping my boots on the ground [Verse 2: Daddyphatsnaps] Gotta get my mind right, mission: storm the beach of Normandy Sent a letter to my family and told them orally Before I left that I'd be coming back, so we can normally Return to our routine, resume the spot that I was formerly This isn't what I do the majority of the time I am morally intact, abnormal to me the grime But these are different days, I grab my weapon clammily Insanity is war, but I do it for my family Focus on the task, block the chatter and profanity Of other soldiers on the craft, screaming of calamity Disappear into a canopy of tragic fantasies Where I don't make it back, getting crushed by the gravity of that reality I won't put them through the agony Of growing up without a father, teach them how a man should be Pull yourself together, soldier, heart is beating rapidly And if you're gonna survive, you're gonna need a strategy Knuckle up, it's time You're pushing through the casualty Keep your aim true, turn them into shooting galleries Unleashing a battery, you don't need no cavalry This is war, and we're fighting for our families [Chorus] I sacrifice myself I commit to the cause, no hesitation Fight, 'til there's no one left I am leading the charge against a nation Ain't gonna die, fighting in a war that I am bound Aim for the sky, but I'm keeping my boots on the ground [Outro] This day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic [...] and our civilization [...]. Success may not come with rushing speed, but we shall return again and again; [...] until the victory is won
