fragmentation

from the album “Que Vive!”

before you throw it, the tragedy unfolding
make sure you look him right into his eyes
look him right into his eyes
pull the pin, one Mississippi, two Mississippi
hurl away and watch it arc into the sky
watch it arc into the sky
as you track, eyes are wide with horror
no escaping, the 15 meter killing zone
15 meter killing zone

nothing personal, war is hell
you or me, just as well
in a different life we might have
been best friends but now you have to die

stepping over, the tragedy that was you

it’s amazing, time moving slowly
such a tiny tiny thing could kill so bad
and then it’s over, moving forward
through the trees, disappear into the night

no reflection, before the next encounter
grab another, and hold it closely to your heart
hold it closely to your heart

nothing personal, war is hell
you or me, just as well
heads or tails, who can tell
in a different life we might have been
best friends but now you have to die

stepping over, the tragedy that was you
