icy water pulls me down, surrounding me

drifting with the gentle stream,

embracing me too weary to reach the surface



a soldier of fortune bearing arms

without belief he's been under fire and

has never felt no grief pride and glory

the innocent dying for pride and glory



i hear them beg for mercy the terrifying

screams i hear them echo in my mind, cryin'



i'm drowning slowly inside the dream

i choke on the water drowning slow and

i see the visions of slaughter



awake in a cold sweat haunted by the

things he saw the silhouettes dancing

on the bedroom paperwall hell and fire

the yesterday victims it's hell and fire



i hear them beg for mercy the terrifying

screams i hear them echo in my mind, cryin'



i'm drowning slowly inside the dream

i choke on the water drowning slow and

i see the visions of slaughter



the hero in shadows for the gold he

sells his soul to fight for the honor

every mercenary's goal pride and glory

the innocent dying for pride and glory
