A VICTORY

He was standing there, silent as can be
Not sure what was really going on
Had the weight of the world on his shoulder
And he was so far from where he called home

When the sergeant screamed "It's time for war"
He beared his arms and gave his all
Looked into the other's eyes
They both said their last goodbyes

And then he killed the enemy
And they call this a victory

When he was finally discharged
He returned home to his family
He remembered the man he killed
How he stole his dignity

Now one's alive, one's in a field of stone
One family's fine, and one is alone
It's all for the fight to be free
And they call this a victory

Neither one can claim to be free
But they call this a victory

Now they're giving him this medal of honor
For some supposed great deed
Of killing an innocent man
And leaving his life to bleed

Can't we see
This could never be
A victory
