Glory's Worth
If I fight a war, and know not
Why I even kill for them.
Why do I march, and turn a blind eye
To all my brethren.
What is glory worth
If no one knows your name?
If you are a number
And are treated just the same.
For the Republic, they say
For honor, and for glory
but what does that mean if at the end of the day
If battlefields lay gory.
What is glory worth
If no one knows your name?
If you are a number
And are treated just the same.
They say You are free
And I ask How?
Are we free if we are slaves to greed?
But be a good soldier, to that flag you must bow.
What is glory worth
If no one knows your name?
If you are a number
And are treated just the same.
If the war goes on for centuries,
And a thousand lives are lost,
Will we begin to think of treaties?
Or will our hearts be permafrost?
What is glory worth
If no one knows your name?
If you are a number
And are treated just the same.
Do I have to follow orders,
or can I slip away and die?
Because that's what I rather do
Than take another life.
What is glory worth
If no one knows your name?
If you are a number
And are treated just the same.
Glory is the name
of devils, demons dark.
Honor is the guise
of those afraid of who they are.
For all the brave troopers we love and loved.
