Stripped To The Bone

We were sent among the first

To fight the wounds, the heat, the thirst

Still, with hate we unify

To watch you bleed and help you die

Oh, they say dead men tell no tales

But your death tells me that you have failed

Stripped to the bone

And left here all alone

Dead men tell no tales they say

Well your death tells me you’re away

Six feet down you lay with your eyes closed

So still, winsome sleep, so decomposed

Stripped to the bone

And left here all alone

Stripped to the bone

Stop!

Greaves don’t come more false than this

So stop now, traveler, and piss

We are superior to your men

One of us can take out ten

There is no question if or when

So go ahead piling sandbags

Say farewell to your dog tags

While we lean back counting our frags

Stripped to the bone

And left here all alone

Stripped to the bone
