Completely Present - Conscription

I opened up that letter
Couldn't believe what I read
It's time to serve your country son
It's time to listen to the man
Thought about my family
And the sacrifice ahead
N'only one answer came to my mind
"Yes sir!Yes sir!" I said
They said load your weapon
My hands were shaking
Thought about my flags colours
What do they mean to me
Thought about my fallen brothers
When their bloodshed became real
They said shoot to kill
I had no choice
No freewill
Please believe me
How can I face you again
I've pulled the grenades pin
I've seen the worst in men
And the worst part of it is
I thrived in it
Cause I said "Yes sir! Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!" I said
How can I accept medals for this
They murdered, they murdered my innocence
How can I face you again
(How can I face you, how can I face you)
The enemies blood soaked on my skin
Cause I said "Yes sir! Yes sir!"
"Yes sir!" I said
