Old Blood and Guts
Music & Lyrics by: Jon Krech
I gaze across this open field and see a path revealed
A glorious empire fought here once on this frontier
The fearless legions of Rome brought a victory home
2000 years ago, I know
I was here
Now 7th army to the forward and weapons to the ready
Strike them hard fast and above all keep your aim steady
We must push onward past this first infantry division
Its victory that I want and glory which I envision
No bastard ever won a war for his country by dying
He won by making the other man who wanted to kill him die trying
Press forward, do not stop, attack while on the move
To halt while under fire is a suicide this army has not approved
Perpetual peace is a futile dream
War is the greatest endeavor of man
The others don’t compare
To ensure peace now for our country you must fight
So lead me, follow me, or get out of my way
I don’t give a damn about the color of your skin
Just kill those other sons of bitches wearing green and we will win
Any soldier who’s uninjured and wastes a hero’s bed
I
is a yellow coward traitor and should be shot dead
Perpetual peace is a futile dream
War is the greatest endeavor of man
The others don’t compare
To ensure peace now for our country you must fight
So lead me, follow me, or get out of my way
I know you want to go home and put an end to this war
The quickest way to end it is to kill them on their own shore
The sooner they are whipped the sooner we can all go home
Victory lies in Berlin; Berlin and Tokyo
Perpetual peace is a futile dream
War is the greatest endeavor of man
The others don’t compare
To ensure peace now for our country you must fight
So lead me, follow me, or get out of my way
