General Lyrics

Rode a hundred miles today

Dragged ten thousand men across the plain

On the other side resides our enemy

Cowering in their hole

They may look the same

Have a wife and family just like me

But they wave a different flag

So we must kill them all

Tell the men to get in line

Try to lift them up before they die

If they ever wanna see their home again

Courage must be found

But I've seen this all before

I have heard the screams and drums of war

No amount of sleep will ever rescue me

From dreaming of that sound

As the light begins to fade

Finally I can sheath my blood-soaked blade

Look around and feel the rush of victory

But have we really won?

There's a soldier by my side

See the life has faded from his eyes

Take the helmet off to see my enemy

He looks just like my son
