Going round in circles
Like the fans overhead
His mind can’t get the words out
And the spirit weighs like lead
Join the team,
Recurring dream,
Kill Team,
Kill Team
The heat it has no ending
And the isolation stings
Is this what they call ‘R&R’,
A bird with shattered wings?
Join the team,
Recurring dream,
Kill Team,
Kill Team
The face of that civilian
Lurks in fragile fits of sleep
They murdered him for sport
And laughed to hear his widow weep
Join the team,
Recurring dream,
Kill Team,
Kill Team
Routine operation,
Chopper dust-off, village street,
Pull the trigger, see him fall,
Plant a weapon in deceit
Join the team,
Recurring dream,
Kill Team,
Kill Team
Fraternity of heroes
Pose for selfies with the slain
Who said war is pretty,
Who said warriors stay sane?
Join the team,
Recurring dream,
Kill Team,
Kill Team
Forest whispers beckon,
Windy beaches call,
Then foul contamination
Covers up them all
Join the team,
Recurring dream,
Kill Team,
Kill Team
