a chance at death
February 28, 2013
offered to leave.
to go home after 25.
but there's still work to do.
nazis to be killed.
lives to save.
each mission surely brings death.
hit the switch.
bombs away.
light up the sky.
each one brings death.
thousands die.
but thousands more saved.
after each success.
another patch added.
each one a dance with the devil.
a chance of death.
39 missions.
39 wins.
