In A Minute

It sure left its mark on us, we sure left our mark on it,

A simple raid, everything should have gone as planned,
An overlooked alarm, a flash of light, the sound of gunfire,

We let the world know we were here with everything we did,

Darkness, footsteps, voices, fading
Opening one eye, I see my fallen comrades all around me,
For a few painless seconds I see my family,
I think back on my life, then,
I feel that warm trickle begin to gush,
My last strength used to look down and confirm my fears,
Blood.

We laid a lot of memories down, like tattoos on this town
