VERSE:
Hell's fire is burning,
And the wheels are turninng,
Boy, they're gonna burn tonight!
Keep your hand on the trigger,
Battle's gettin' bigger,
You wanna live, you gotta fight!
CHORUS:
In the heat of the battle,
Somebody's got to die!
In the heat of the battle,
It's an eye for an eye!
In the heat of the battle,
You're never gonna get out alive!
VERSE:
Bullets fly past your head,
Just one hit and you're dead,
You can't run, or look for cover!
Call in the cannon's fire,
The battle's getting dire,
You just wanna be with your lover!
CHORUS:
In the heat of the battle,
Somebody's got to die!
In the heat of the battle,
It's an eye for an eye!
In the heat of the battle,
You're never gonna get out alive!
BRIDGE:
All the guns and the noise,
It's just you and the boy.
A field all covered in blood,
Mixed in with dirt and the mud.
They keep asking for more,
This is a God-Damn war!

INTERLUDE

CHORUS, WITH SOLO
In the heat of the battle,

Please leave a comment on my music, and I will gladly listen to your own, if you have any. Otherwise, I'll just leave you a regular comment on your profile.
I don't know how to accurately describe myself. I love life, I love music. I play trumpet in the school band and I sometimes play guitar with a few people and hang out.
I daydream a lot, which is a real curse, but a sign that my brain is really active. That's why I get bad grades. The kids who are honors students and get all A's and are college-bound with a full scholarship are brain dead. They focus on what's given to them, and don't think beyond the boundaries. I'd like to be smart and intelligent, but I don't need letters on a paper to prove it.
I am mostly self-taught on guitar; I have never taken lessons. I first learned how to read music on a guitar before I was aware of tabs. I had already known how to read because I was on my second year of trumpet at the time, and also in fourth grade we had to play recorder. Now, I am in my sixth year on trumpet, third year on guitar, and I have long forgotten how to play recorder.
My main influences are blues and classic rock, with a little bit of metal in there. I listen to a wide variety of music, ranging from Classical to Iron Maiden. I like to listen to music, I like to play my guitar and trumpet (not at the same time... yet), and sometimes compose music. My life is mostly about music, and someday I would like to play trumpet in a symphony, and become a band director. I love playing guitar, but taking into account reality, becoming a rock star is not easy, and if I don't make it as a guitarist, I still have trumpet, and I will continue to compose, even if I don't ever make much money from it.
