Just a Graze - Human Fortress

Sacrificed to fight

Recruited filled with hope for better days

Book of promises

There was no word of danger I could die

I was yearning for a world of adventures

They always calm our mates, we don’t have to care

But one day we went to Nomala

To defeat rebellious tribes, we never knew why

Just a graze — They shot without hesitation

Just a graze — Can’t kill me

Their guns drown out our screams

I believe to end in disaster

Scattered on the battlefield, no way to retreat

Sacrificed to fight

Dying here to save the wealth of swayers

We have to accept

We ate wrong and our mission is a lie

Falling one by one to save cruel dictators

Made a bloody deal for treasures of the soil

One more day we fight in Nomala

To defeat rebellious tribes, who fight for their right

Say a prayer — so many times

Shouldn’t dare — to fake you’re kind

Bear the blame — inside of me

Just wade through — black lake of tears

They let me stew — in my own grease

Evil eyes — in death agony

Try to tame — my enemies

Lost the game of conquest and greed
