The Vincent Black Shadow
In a Row
Your troop has landed
And you’re on the run
You’re out there stranded
You only got your gun

For peace and planet
You know it’s not for fun
You never planned it
You were not the one

This is not an old war story
Like they always told:
This is a nightmare to behold!

So in a row they line up to die
Breathe in the air
For just one last time
And try to be strong
While their mothers cry
So in a row they line up to die!

It seemed so easy
Cause life was hard
With hope so fleeting
You let down your guard
When you were younger
With hope and pride -
Now in a place where
It’s kill or die
This is not an old war story
Like they always told:
This is a nightmare to behold!

So in a row they line up to die
Breathe in the air
For just one last time
And try to be strong
While their mothers cry
So in a row they line up to die!

Looking through my lens
I see him looking back at me
We both have no choice:
It’s our destiny
Cause we both came to fight
And now we live in fear -
Life will be cut short
Death is creeping near

This is not an old war story
Like they always told:
This is a nightmare to behold!

So in a row they line up to die
Breathe in the air
For just one last time
And try to be strong
While their mothers cry
So in a row they line up to die!
