A QUANTUM OF BLISS

I haven't seen day
I know not what is sun
With grief sorrow death I play
My favorite toy's a gun

I live in smoke
And one day we'll be one
When a bullet in my blood soaks
And I'll finally see the sun

I kill people I do not know
I kill people I might like
Not knowing the name of my foe
I decide the day he has to die

I'm the one people praise
I'm the one people curse
But once my body in the coffin lays
My memory fades and disappears

Sometimes I wonder why I fight
For the sake of greedy liars
When I can help my people with my might
And raise my land from the scorching pyre

I may be tuff but not a stone
I have a home and people I miss
And before my head is to dirt blown
I pray to God for a quantum of bliss
