The trenches dug and filled with innocence
They live they die and fall with pride
A blood red sky you see the colours fly
Fooled by the powers behind feeding us lies

They're marching on, no matter what the cost
Their head held high and don't ask why
A freak parade with a dollar cause
The war didn't end all the wars

We're going down, down down
We're falling one by one
Yeah, 21 guns makes it worth the price
But do we care about the body count

Moving forward on their tired feet
They live they die and fall with pride
The politicians gathered for the feast
They all wear the mark of the beast

We're going down, down down
We're falling one by one
Yeah, 21 guns makes it worth a price
But do we care about the body count

No they won't back down keep raging on
And the wheels keep spinning 'round
Yeah, 21 guns makes it worth a price
But do we care about the body count
Down, down down
We're falling one by one
Yeah, 21 guns makes it worth a price
But do we care about the body count
