Under Fire - live

I'm under fire, blood red sky
 Underneath the war machine
 Fight for what's right don't ask why
 Just make the sacrifice
 Please, make the sacrifice
 Desensitized but my eyes
 Still recognize the pain
 Through stark and real fight or die
 Retreat has no place in this game
 In the dark and under fire
 Believing our cause was justified
 Caught in the cross hair's condition dire
 Trying a case of do or die
 In the blink of an eye
 I took someone's life
 It's no wonder why
 I'm haunted by it still
 Bright flickering light
 Snubbed by my numbing hands
 Don't understand
 One finger slip and it's over for him
 All's fair in war so they say
 But later as I try to sleep
 I just can't help but replay
 When I sat in as deity
 Was this man a loving father?
 Was this man a loving son?
 Though it was one of us or the other
 I don't feel like a lucky one
 In the blink of an eye
 I took someone's life
 It's no wonder why
 I'm haunted by it still
 In the dark and under fire
 Believing our cause was justified
 Caught in the cross hair's condition dire
 Trying a case of do or die
 In the blink of an eye
 I took someone's life
 It's no wonder why
 I'm haunted every night
 I still hear his cries
 And think about his wife and his kids
 And all that he could have been
 If only we'd have been friends
 In a blink of an eye
