The Code

I’m home, evening, narrow bed
The sheets are white, the light is low
The fever's, dreaming in my head,
Just turning pages of my living slow
The rains that washed the blood away
The sun that cooked the living bone
The snakes that slithered through the clay
The sleazy nights I spent alone
I watched Empires rise and fall
And shed my blood for warlords' thrill
There was no justice, none at all
Just filthy masks, just paying bill
But there was one thing I could keep
One truth that never turned to lies
The bond we swore when death was cheap
The brotherhood of tired eyes
We sold our guns, we sold our skin
We never sold the ones behind
No flag, no god, no king, no sin
Just men who bled for men beside
I see their faces in the dark
The ones who fell without trace
Young man who never left his mark
The serge who never saw the grace
We overthrew damn bloody men
And put much worse instead of there
I pulled the trigger, made the plan
And never ever stopped to care
But when the bullets tore the night
And when the mortar shook the ground
I held my brother, held him tight
The only holy thing I found
That was the one thing I could keep
The only truth that never lied
The bond we swore when death was cheap
The brotherhood of those who died
No flag, no god, no king, no sin
Just smell of blood, smell of burnt skin
I never sold a single friend
The code I'm keeping till the end
Now I’m old, the wars are done
The malaria shakes my hand
But I don’t fear the setting sun
I’ve done the best — I understand
I could not change the world, you see
I only kept my family
So let the fever take me slow
And all the memories will fade
I’m going where my brothers go
Into the quiet, into the shade
There's no regrets, no prayers, no tears
Just echo of the firing years
