Am           Dm    Am          Dm
Came in this morning high on a bird's wing
Wide open-minded, but still quite aware

Chorus:
Bm                     Em
Followed the sunrise right through from dawning
Picking out landmarks that said I was there

Lead to positions by stern-faced leaders
Who never let one smile depart from their face

Then with an arm raised the slaughter is started
One or two crack up and start to cry

Chorus:
A selfishness breeds in this cesspool of sorrow
And every few moments I see a friend die

Synchronized watches flash in the sunlight
As into the battle, we are all led

 A
Killer, killer, you keep your thoughts at bay
Maiming, destroying every single day
G
Is this the way that you get your fun
  A
Slaying, waylaying in the heat of the midday sun

Get out, get out, go and do your job
Rape and pillage, squander all and rob
You make me sick getting paid for murder
But you wouldn't lay a finger on your mother, oh, no

You'll never ever dream to hurt her
Dying to Meet You

A
Hero, hero, you have done so well
So sit back and lick your wounds
Because you won't go to hell
 G
Take your medal, wear it now with pride
 A
Consolation for the pain and sin you feel inside
