The Offspring Lyrics

I am the one
I am the chosen one to embark on a dangerous mission.

Camouflage and guns
I am well-equipped with weapons and am in stealth mode.

Risk my life
I am putting my life in danger.

To keep my people from harm
I am on a mission to keep my people safe from any danger.

Authority
I have been given the power to embark on this mission.

Vested in me
This power has been given to me as a mark of trust.

I sacrifice
I am willing to put everything at risk, even if it means sacrificing myself.

With my brothers in arms
I have my fellow comrades-in-arms with me who share my mission and values.

Through this doorway
I am entering a new space that may be hazardous.

What's on the other side
I have no idea what I may find on the other end.

Never knowing
I am completely unaware of the forthcoming danger.

Exactly what I'll find
I have no idea about the type of danger I will face.

Locked and loaded
I am fully equipped and prepared for battle.

Voices screaming
I hear encouraging cries from my comrades.

Let's go!
It is time to move forward and act with conviction.

Come on do it!
I am being encouraged to proceed despite the danger.

Here we go
It's time to act with bravery and proceed despite the impending danger.

Take a life
I must kill to complete this mission.

That others may live
It is necessary to sacrifice some to save others.

Oh that's just the way it goes
This is the harsh reality of war.

It's playing over and over in my head
The memory of war and its brutality is deeply etched in my mind.

Where it'll end
I have no idea how this mission will end.

Nobody knows
It is impossible to predict what will happen.

Stay the course
I must stay focused on my mission despite challenges.

Reasonable force
I must use the necessary amount of force required to complete the mission.

I believe I serve a greater good
I am strongly committed to the cause and believe that what I am doing is important.

Smoke and dust
The impact of battle is everywhere.

Enemies are crushed
The enemy has been defeated.

Nothing left
The battle has been so intense that there is almost nothing left behind.

Where a man once stood
There is not even a trace of where the enemy was standing.

But I'm just doing what I'm told
I must follow orders without question, even if it means killing others.

Bang bang it hammers in my head
The sound of gunfire echoes in my mind.

Yeah though I walk to the through the valley of the
I am aware of the dangers and threats around me.

Shadow of death , I will fear no evil:
However, I am not afraid of death and will not give up.

For Thou art with me
I know that God is with me during these difficult times.

Gonna find my truth
I am on a journey to find my own identity and purpose.

Now I'm busting trough
I am breaking free from my past and present situations.

All hell breaks loose
Everything is unpredictable and chaotic.

And you can all hide behind your desks now
Those who are not part of this mission can hide behind their comfort zones.

And you can cry 'teacher come help me!'
They may feel helpless and need external help during chaotic situations.

Through you all
Despite this, I am committed to my mission.

My aim is true
I am confident in my abilities and will do whatever it takes to complete the mission.
