O to be a Soldier

As we leave for war I feel my beating heart, 

A last look at my home, wishing we did not 

Part. 

In this foreign land we seek to make them 

Slaves, 

If they don't submit, we'll put them in their 

Graves. 

With my noble sword I turn the rivers red, 

Any foe I face, I relieve them of their 

Heads. 

I see the faceless moon and brace my self 

To die, 

Brought here by a worthy cause, but was this 

Just a lie? 

How can it be just to strip them of their land? 

How can it be right, to hold their deaths in 

Hand? 

O to be a soldier, where fate can be so cruel, 

But I shall make no quarrel, for this is how they 

Rule.
