Analysis of Gun turns into God
There is something terribly wrong
When a soldier's gun turns into God
For a gun is an instrument
To determine a man/woman/child's life or death
There is something terribly wrong
When a soldier's gun delivers judgement
Judgment is for God, God only
I thought burying the dead was for a ditch digger
Little did I know I'd have to one day pull the trigger...
