They come at me
Yelling and screaming
What can I do
Except keep from talking
They get in my face
And scream what they want
Silence as my weapon
They wont get what they want
This life that I chose
I didnt realize how hard
It would be
To keep from being charred
So yes I say again
How far will it go
With silence as my weapon
Can I really follow the flow?
This life I must lead
As I walk my silent path
In the United States Marines
Trying to avoid
Their nasty wrath
