Em
Infidel can you hear
Would be strange delight
               Em   D    G  A Bm  D  Em
I need you to give your sympathy tonight
Em
When you hear what I say
Deeds I've done
             Em D   G   A   Bm C   D
Realise I've never lost and never won

Chorus:
C G D
     I've got a feeling that it's never right
     There was a reason but it's out of sight
     It's going down somewhere tonight
Bm G Am G D         Em D
          Under the gun

Put death in my hand
Learn to fight
Who could care if it's wrong or if it's right
We got no choice
Under command
We're ordered to die or take this land
Stupid bastards and religious freaks
So safe in their castle keeps
They turn away as a mother weeps

Chorus

When brave men fall
Under crimson skies
There's a sadness reflected in a soldier's eyes
Tears will dry
For those I kill
Remember no more their names but
Someone will
The only way to be victorious
Screw the fools who think it's glorious
Who gives a toss about the likes of us

Chorus
