Under The Gun lyrics

[Verse 1]

Infidel can you hear

Would be strange delight

I need you to give your sympathy tonight

When you hear what I say

Deeds I've done

Realise I've never lost and never won

I've got a feeling that it's never right

There was a reason but it's out of sight

It's going down somewhere tonight

[Chorus]

Under the gun

[Verse 2]

Put death in my hand learn to fight

Who could care if it's wrong or if it's right

We got no choice Under command

We're ordered to die or take this land

Stupid bastards and religious freaks

So safe in their castle keeps

They turn away as a mother weeps

[Chorus]

Under the gun

[Verse 3]

When brave men fall

Under crimson skies

There's a sadness reflected in a soldier's

Eyes

Tears will dry

For those I kill

Remember no more their names but

Someone will

The only way to be victorious

Screw the fools who think it's glorious

Who gives a toss about the likes of us

[Chorus]

Under the gun
