icy water pulls me down, surrounding me   drifting with the gentle stream,   embracing me too weary to reach the surface      a soldier of fortune bearing arms   without belief he's been under fire and   has never felt no grief pride and glory   the innocent dying for pride and glory      i hear them beg for mercy the terrifying   screams i hear them echo in my mind, cryin'      i'm drowning slowly inside the dream   i choke on the water drowning slow and   i see the visions of slaughter      awake in a cold sweat haunted by the   things he saw the silhouettes dancing   on the bedroom paperwall hell and fire   the yesterday victims it's hell and fire      i hear them beg for mercy the terrifying   screams i hear them echo in my mind, cryin'      i'm drowning slowly inside the dream   i choke on the water drowning slow and   i see the visions of slaughter      the hero in shadows for the gold he   sells his soul to fight for the honor   every mercenary's goal pride and glory   the innocent dying for pride and glory
