    Hey everyone, it's been quite a while since I posted anything here hasn't it lol. Anyway those of you who are old timers on the LPA might remember I posted some lyrics called 'The Assignment' about a year ago, well this week out of sheer boredom I decided to work on them and here is the finished production. Enjoy!

    The Assignment

    We're in the sky, in a plane at night
    Our parachutes a’ ready, preparing for the fight
    When we hit ground, our mission is to kill
    Ignore the white flags, and just let the blood spill
    Take over the city, kill all who oppose
    Make laws of our own, seal off all the exit roads
    Capture the leader, and sell it to the press
    Capture civilians, and make them confess
    Destroy all defences, blow up the all bases
    Ignore the blind terror, on the children’s faces
    Their parents are dead, we call it friendly fire
    As we continue to kill for the cause of a liar

    These are the lives in a blood soaked sand land
    We fear every day that our time is at hand
    But fear comes with this job we’re told to do
    So I must stay strong so I can come home to you

    No escape from this hell and the demons it beholds
    The only exit is completing the assignment
    When it will all end, no one really knows
    But for now on with the carnage and gun-bound violence

    My best friend’s dead, as we move down the land
    Another fight's brewing, the time is at hand
    Time to get my gun, from my blood soaked bag
    A picture of you, reminds me of the times we had
    I start to reminisce, because it could be my last chance
    I pray for you all as out the window I glance
    I see other troops, on the side of the lane
    Burning the bodies of all the people they've blown away
    The thickness of the air, gives us all the smell
    Of the burning of souls as we drive down a road in hell
    And while I’m trying not to heave, I’m trying to believe
    That this burial site wont include me

    These are the lives in a sand land turned red
    We fear every day by the night we’ll be dead
    But dying for your country is the honourable thing to do
    So I must do my best to come back alive for you

    No escape from this hell and the demons it beholds
    The only exit is completing the assignment
    When it will all end, no one really knows
    But for now on with the carnage and gun-bound violence

    Dulce Et Decorum Est pr patria mori
    (It’s good and glorious to die for your country)

    And they say it’s glorious to die for your country?
    Well its not as good as they say
    No good going to hell
    When you’re already there!

    No escape from this hell and the demons it beholds
    The only exit is completing the assignment
    When it will all end, no one really knows
    But for now on with the carnage and gun-bound violence

    No escape from this hell and the demons it beholds
    There’s no exiting now, I failed the assignment
    For me the end has come and now I must go
    With my best friend at my side to the eternal silence
