Soldiers
Soldiers come and go,
Like Seasons come and go,
Soldiers kill and save.

I am one of them,
One of the soldiers,
Who come and go,
Who kill and save.

Soldiers train and sleep,
Like Sloths,
Soldiers mourn and celebrate.

I am one of them,
One of the Soldiers,
Who train and sleep,
And who mourn and celebrate.
