A SEAL's Endeavor |
|
By Alex Lee |
I think back to the start Four of us silently waiting Getting ready to depart The quiet of the heli fills us with suspense 10 minutes, 6 minutes, 1 minute, go! Now we must commence Today, I find my team and I In a desert hell This arena we're in Is now concealed by bullet shells The sight of my friends' demise Is getting hard for me to take I have to do something now I simply cannot wait So I push on through The foes' shower of lead Still I continue my endeavor Even though I know I'm dead Push the buttons To complete the final call To get reinforcements I'll try to save us all Suddenly, a 7-6-2 Meets the center of my back As I fall to the blistering sand My entire world goes black In an effort to keep them off I rise defiantly once more I may have lost this battle But I know I'll win the war |
