We took the long way into Rome
There was so much blood spilled on the floor
Like a pool of ice
In the dead of night
That called your name too

I've just killed my first man
For taking the lord's name in vein
I love you uncle Sam
I've never seem blood before
After all this I don't think I can go back home

There was a mix up
Down in the courtroom
I'll pry your ears
Your eyes wide open
If it's the last thing I do
With my love light
Night bright
So my friends can shine on through
I'll pry your eyes too

I've just killed my first man
For taking the lord's name in vein
I love you uncle Sam
I've never seen blood before
After all this I don't think I can go back home

Proud poppies get turned into fakes
To be injected by
Head and hands and arms and face
To electrify

I've just killed my first man
For taking the lord's name in vein
I love you uncle Sam
I've never seen blood before
After all this I don't think I can go back home.
