Pledge Of Allegiance

by Scott Hann, from Rock & Roll

Author's comment: I wrote this song in light of the war and violence that is around in the world. It is basically written about the soldiers going off to war, and how they do not fear conflict: "Our's is not to question why, Our's is just to do or die"

Power and wealth <br>Mean nothing in this world of cold blood killing <br>Young and old <br>Working together to protect our freedom <br>Side by side <br>Preparing themselves for bloodshed and defeat <br>Fear and hope <br>Willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice <br> <br>[Bridge] <br>They've pledged their allegiance <br>A duty to the land <br>These words that they leave us <br>We don't understand <br>We can't understand, why they say.. <br> <br>[Chorus] <br>Our's is not to question why <br>Our's is just to do or die <br>Man to man, eye to eye <br>I'll shake your hand and say goodbye <br> <br>Our's is not to question why <br>Our's is just to do or die <br>Man to man, eye to eye <br>I tell you now the end is nigh <br> <br>Guilt and anguish <br>A change of mind to late in coming <br>Blood and tears <br>For the fallen victim of wasted warfare <br>Flames and devastation <br>Signal the point of their demise <br>Mines and mortars <br>When will we end this senseless desolation <br> <br>[Bridge] <br>They've pledged their allegiance <br>A duty to the land <br>These words that they leave us <br>We don't understand <br>We can't understand, why they say.. <br> <br>[Chorus] <br>Our's is not to question why <br>Our's is just to do or die <br>Man to man, eye to eye <br>I'll shake your hand and say goodbye <br> <br>Our's is not to question why <br>Our's is just to do or die <br>Man to man, eye to eye <br>I tell you now the end is nigh
