The Price Of War

(album: JT XVIII - 2020)

Bravo Team is back for an encore
Another day, another hard-fought war
Defending the free world is a tall order
But that's the duty we've all been called for
We're coming in strong, not gonna knock doors
Breach and clear, what you even got a lock for?
There comes a time to draw the line
And there's no denying that I'm gonna cross yours
Squad leader, and I got the vision
Now we're going dark and then you're going missing
We're covered by night, so be silent and listen
But you won't hear shit till we've finished our mission
You scared of the Bogeyman? 'Cause he exists
He'll light up a cigar, then you're gonna get lit
Regret? I never been encumbered with it
'Cause when I make a decision I'm running with it

People see the world in black or white
But have you crossed that line before?
You'll end up dead unless you have some fight
But either way, you're gonna pay the price of war

When you're caught 'tween a rock and a hard place
Stay calm, even when you feel your heart race
You might think you're gonna do what's right
But when the lights go out, you're forced to a dark place
So when you gotta pull the trigger, never hesitate
Every second that you wait, death is one step away
Showing mercy's a mistake you should never make
Working long nights so the world sees better days
Stay frosty, don't let your thoughts run
You're not a hero, you're here to get the job done
So don't punch out now, you're on the clock, son
I'm counting sheep by "count" I mean shot some
You're the hunter, find your target
If you don't got one, then you are it
This is not a drill now prepare to
Put a brave face on, counterterror

People see the world in black or white
But have you crossed that line before?
You'll end up dead unless you have some fight
But either way, you're gonna pay the price of war
I'm watching you
The night has eyes
Sights locked on you
Now say your goodbyes

People see the world in black or white
But have you crossed that line before?
You'll end up dead unless you have some fight
But either way, you're gonna pay the price of war
I'm watching you
The night has eyes
Sights locked on you
Now say your goodbyes
