"War Cry"

Why have I wasted my life,
What good was it all for,
Fighting battles that are not mine.
So now I cry in solitude,
Among the wreckage of my home

I've paid my dues to patriot wars,
I've suffered and bourne disgrace.
I've shed the blood of the innocent
In defence of your good name.

Years of my life have been spent away from those I love,
Now you send me to see the cinders of my past.

You bastard men,
Your souls condemned,
I'll fight you to the grave.
If I'm to die,
I'll die with a smile,
I will not die in vain.

This is my bands slow melodic song. The first five lines are spoken (ala Megadeth)

I liked it, too. It had a nice balance of imagery and got the point across. It would be a nice intro piece to something more descriptive detailing an actual battle or the post traumatic things that happened after.
