[Music - D. Ott / Lyrics - T. Leonard & D. Ott]
I'm under fire - blood red sky
Underneath the war machine
Fight for what's right - don't ask why
Just make the sacrifice
Desensitized but my eyes still recognize the pain
Truth: Stark and real
Fight or die, retreat has no place in this game
In the dark and under fire
Believing our cause was justified
Caught in the crosshairs; condition dire
Trying a case of do or die
In the Blink of an Eye I Took someone's life
It's no wonder why I'm haunted by it still...
Bright flickering light snubbed by my numbing hands,
don't understand
One finger slip and it's over for him
All's fair in war, so they say
But later as I try to sleep
I just can't help but replay when I sat in as deity
Was this man a loving father?
Was this man a loving son?
Though it was one of us or the other
I don't fell like a lucky one
In the Blink of an Eye I Took someone's life
It's no wonder why I'm haunted by it still...
I still hear his cries and think about his wife and his kids
And all that he could have been
If only we'd have been friends
In a blink of an Eye...
