Boots On The Ground (Feat. Dan Bull & Daddyphatsnaps)

I'm imbued with the spirit of an English Tommy
Dunno my kill count, it's bigger than the fingers on me
Imma sing the song for the memory that lingers on
When everything is gone and makes grown men scream for mommy
You've never seen a zombie until you've seen your best friend
Trying to scoop his intestines back into his bleeding tummy
Muffled battle tunes, hum and, rattle through the shrapnel wounds
Crushing out the fluid of the fruits of war like apple juice

Thickly trickle all down the tricolor flag that's in tatters
Its fabric is ragged and haggard
Telling a France that is shattered that there is still a thread of hope
Somewhere through a telescope, It's difficult to tell it though
Invisible there's hella smoke that'll envelop and choke
A delicate bloke into silence
So telling a joke is a method of coping with violence
You're thrown into darkness when even the stars are going out
Fifty million little candles, blown out

This is it, You already know
It's okay, just get ready, go
Your life, gotta lay it down
Ain't no time to play around
Everybody say it loud

I sacrifice myself
I commit to the cause, no hesitation
Fight til there's no one left
I am leading a charge against nation
Ain't gonna die
Fighting in a war that I am bound
Aim for the sky
But I'm keeping my boots on the ground

Gotta get my mind right
Mission: Storm the beach of Normandy
Sent a letter to my family and told them orally
Before I left that I'd be coming back so we can normally
Return to our routine, resume the spot that I was formerly
This isn't what I do, the majority of the time
I am morally intact, abnormal to me the grime but
These are different days, I grab my weapon clammily
Insanity is war but I do it for my family

Focus on the task block the chatter and profanity
Of the soldiers on the other craft screaming of calamity
Disappear into a canopy of tragic fantasies
Where I don't make it back
Getting crush by the gravity of that reality
I won't put them through the agony of growing up without a father
Teach them how a man should be
Put yourself together soldier, heart is beating rapidly
And if you're gonna survive, you're gonna need a strategy

Knuckle up, it's time
You're pushing through the casualty
Keep your aim true
Turn them into shooting galleries
Unleashing a battery
You don't need no cavalry
This is war
And we're fighting for our families

I sacrifice myself
I commit to the cause, no hesitation
Fight til there's no one left
I am leading a charge against nation
Ain't gonna die
Fighting in a war that I am bound
Aim for the sky
But I'm keeping my boots on the ground
