Marching orders (the call to war&the betrayal)

Marching Orders (The Call to War & The Betrayal) (Verse 1 – The Patriot’s Mindset Before the Truth) I laced my boots, kissed the flag, said my last goodbye, Told my mama, “Don’t you worry, I was born to fight.” Brothers on my left, my right, ready for the cause, They said freedom had a price—so I gave it all. (Pre-Chorus – The Justification They Gave Us) We were sons of the righteous, soldiers of light, Told to bring justice, told we were right. A foreign hand struck, we had to defend, But the lies start slippin’ when the story don’t end. (Chorus – The Unraveling Truth) Marching orders, battle cries, But who’s the enemy when you look behind? Smoke in the skyline, bodies in sand, But the puppeteer’s pullin’ with a hidden hand. (Verse 2 – The Realization Hits Hard) The bodies stack, the truth don’t match, The war ain’t justice—it’s built on cash. They sold our lives, signed the deal, While we bled out, they made a kill. (Bridge – The Moment of Betrayal) I swore my oath, but who did I serve? The ones who profit or the ones who burn? The ones who sent me never held a gun, They sip their whiskey while we come undone. (Chorus Repeats – With More Weight) Marching orders, battle cries, But who’s the enemy when you look behind? Smoke in the skyline, bodies in sand, But the puppeteer’s pullin’ with a hidden hand. (Outro – The Price of a Lie) Now I’m home, but I ain’t the same, A soldier’s truth is a heavy chain. They taught me war, but not how to heal, Now I fight a battle that they don’t feel.
