We are fighting. That's what we are told. That's what we hear.

The Enemy.

That's who we are fighting. That's what we are told.

We are told the enemy is cruel. Vicious.

A blank face with a cold heart.
A blank face with nothing but evil.

We are the soldiers and they are the enemy.

We are the good and they are the bad.
We are the heroes and they are the villains.

I have seen them.
They seem so similar to us.
They run and talk and shoot like us.
They fight like us.

But they are not like us.
Their bodies fall to the ground but they are the enemy.
They deserve it.

Every time their shirts become stained red they deserve it.
Every time their eyes widen with fear they deserve it.
Every time their mouths open with a scream they deserve it.

We are the heroes and they are the villains.
This is what we are told.

We are the good and they are the bad.
This is what we know.

We are the soldiers and they are the enemy.
This is the truth.

We are the soldiers.
They are the enemy.

We are dying. That's what we know. That's what we feel.

The Enemy.

That's who's killing us. That's what we know.

We know the Enemy is cruel. Savage.

A fiery face with a blackened heart.
A fiery face with a nothing but evil.

We are the victims and they are the enemy's.

We are the innocent and they are the bad.
We are the people and they are the villains.

I have seen them.
They seem so similar to us.
They run and talk and shoot like us.
They do not die like us.

They are not like us.
Our bodies are filled with metal and we do not deserve it.

Every time our shirts are stained red we do not deserve it.
Every time our eyes widen with fear we do not deserve it.
Every time our mouths open with a scream we do not deserve it.

We are the people and they are the villains.
This is what we know.

We are the innocent and they are the bad.
This is what we see.

We are the victims and they are the enemy.
This is the truth.

We are the victims.
They are the enemy.
