Former Christian solder now pagan and older
Marine kill or die noble death wishing for order
Peace found in dark jungles murky waters and mud
Warring with people, fighting for evil, dying for love
Blessed and cursed by both god and the devil
Musical path of an engineering black rebel

Working for status and scraping for food
New views from new wave, New Testament is old news to same ways
Transformed resurrection purpose driven perfection
Guided by angels through unearthly earthly connections
Passed and perfected yet still scorned and rejected
Refused to place another stone on pagan temples erected

The warrior path unpaved yet well traveled
Honor courage commitment the only spoils of the battle
The heart of the mater is a matter of heart
Calming of the spirit to return to the start
The meaning of the samurai to serve is a lie
A samurai serves to train, kill, and to die
And in the process to destroy and to maybe save lives

When life is a battle all wars are the same
Arrogance and vanity passing as pride is a shame
Many are to blame yet few are named guilty
To finish with redemption is where "God's will" will be
