brothers in arms

Singer: famous last words

the fire falls down from the sky

the order's in

and we'll be bringing them the fight

god bless my brother back home with my father

give me the strength to beat this night

sweat

ache

blistering heat

pain in each step i take with my bleeding feet

this air it's so hard to breathe

through the dust and the smoke and the torrid debris

marching forward

towards the murder

these homes are breaking the ground and the walls are shaking

i hear children cry. no time for goodbyes

so i hold my head high as the fire falls down from the sky

fire falls down from the sky

and the blast consumes

fire ignites and burns our flesh as we face our doom

never to see our homes again

and we struggle and we strive in the fight to stay alive

and the hope that we'll survive

will we make it through the night

i'll be going down

but i'll take them out

insurgents are all around

they're burning the world to the ground

but if i'm going down

i will take them out

slums these poor homes

are now our war zones

together we're marching forward

towards the murder

my brothers beside me are strong and not one is breaking

we stand side by side

we fight or we die and we hold our heads high

as the fire falls down from the sky

we die

we fight or we die
