Christmas in Baghdad
One Way Trip

Standing behind the cannon fire During the most intensive hour It feels like thunder underneath Shaking their lives, Shaking their streets And on the darkly painted clouds Flashing light, exploding shells And ever since we came here We've got further from ourselves And as my shots ring through the air Recoil and heat beside my ear My tracers meet with where I stare Two men have died because I'm here And everything I've done Won't justify your reason Now my hands are stained And I can't wash away the treason So what am I supposed to say when we come home empty handed And nothing you had planned justified the end? What am I supposed to say when I call my best friend's parents And tell them how I watched their son die the other day? So time moves on Although it barely shows And right or wrong I still had to go And whether I will make it out alive I just don't know Plus my odds are getting worse as their resistance grows 'Cause when it's gone it's forever I should etch these words in stone Leave them sinking in the past Turn my back and walk alone I'll walk away as one tear will fall for memories That are playing like a broken record, screaming for release (In my mind) I can't hide 'cause it's burned in my eyes from the bombs and the flames and the flash in the skies (I ask why) We need this to survive, Why do we need this to survive? (Why I tried) Why I tried to hide, disguise the fact I'll never make it out alive (Why they lied) Why we followed right along, taken by our souls, turn our back when something's wrong In my mind I ask why Why I tried Why they lied And we followed right along, 'cause we're taken by our souls, turn our back when something's wrong So what am I supposed to say when we come home empty handed And nothing you had planned justified the end? What am I supposed to say when I call my best friend's parents And tell them how I watched their son die the other day?
