My time has passed, I must depart
I have to travel far apart
Please wait for my return to be
I long to see your eyes shine brilliantly
Our foes seek all our joy to rend
But I will fight them to the end
Our family’s safety is at stake
Unless this contract I will make
I take my rifle, firm and straight
And crack the skulls of those I hate
It looks so ugly, looks so vile
But for my family, I still smile
I once saw wonders, pure and free
Before the war came haunting me
Now I must bear death's banner grim
Yet feel this passion deep within
My thoughts are just of simple bread
My thoughts are of the lives I’ll shed
Don’t worry, I will make them fall
Then peace and goodness heal us all
I take my rifle, firm and straight
And crack the skulls of those I hate
It looks so ugly, looks so vile
But for my family, I still smile
I once saw wonders, pure and free
Before the war came haunting me
Now I must bear death's banner grim
Yet feel this passion deep within
My comrade fell, shot in the fray
I lost myself that day
Now I'm a beast, a killing machine
The heads around me—trophies, mean
Even if they were friends before
That matters not, I shut the door
I hate the look in foreign eyes
I’ll kill them all, I realize
Because it’s what I truly prize
I take my rifle, firm and straight
And crack the skulls of those I hate
It looks so ugly, looks so vile
But for my family, I still smile
I once saw wonders, pure and free
Before the war came haunting me
Now I must bear death's banner grim
Yet feel this passion deep within
