Bombs are whistling
toward our Pearl Harbor.
People are running

and into a time of war.

Stay Frosty
Marching to the beat.
The last beat that will be heard.
Adrenaline pumped.
Given the honor to fight
and serve, by all my brothers.

Despair in Action
The sight of this war The cries of little children
I bow in respect To see the boys fight like men To see half our country dead

To fight, bleed and risk my life
Only to be told
That my service means nothing
All there is to do is fight

A Sacrifice
This is my home land
And now I must depart
To a world I hate
As I leave my family
Then to witness all the deaths.

To battle and not get paid
But for now I fight
By my nation’s side tonight
And hopefully in the mourn

At my feet the dead still lives
Perpetuated
By the selfless acts they did
With me their love will go on

Who am I today?
A soldier or prisoner?
I come from Japan,

They took me away
in the brightest of days and
