Текст песни W.A.R. - R-Mean

Fires burning all around
Ashes falling to the ground
Someone save me, set me free
Smoke settles on my skin
Don't play with fire, you'll never win
Someone save me, let me breathe

Dear April, I'm reaching out
In hope this letter find you fast
I know it's been a while
Since I done had the chance to write you back
But Lord knows I intended to
See when I was deployed
So soon after I enlisted
Shit shifted and been so hectic, boo
But I got news for you darling
This my last letter
It's official
As of this morning we gon' be back together
I'm finally coming home
I can't believe I'm a father
And haven't seen my own daughter
Bet she's as sweet as her momma
But I'm afraid I've got some bad news too
Your brother Ray, he's M.I.A
We hope to get him back soon too
If he's on their side of enemy lines
It's better he dies
But if the storm settles in time
We'll get up the guys and raid this camp
Already made the plans
So God-willing we gon' find Ray
I know that he's alive, babe
So just be patient and say your prayers
We fill them
With all my love, William

Fires burning all around
Ashes falling to the ground
Someone save me, set me free
Smoke settles on my skin
Don't play with fire, you'll never win
Someone save me, let me breathe

Dear William
I can't believe you're coming home
I'm o-so-happy
Your daughters growing up so fast
She'll get to know her daddy
We'll be a family
I won't let you go again
My heart's lonely and broken
I just wanna hold you again
But you tell me Ray is missin?
Baby, just say it isn't
Been prayin' every night
Just hopin' that God is listenin'
What will we tell his wife?
She calls me like every night
Asking if I heard from you
His kids need him in they life
My love, I know you will do what you can
So, 'till the day you hold me
The nights are lonely, and time moves slowly
Just be careful, but find him for me
If you're able
Your one and only, April

Fires burning all around
Ashes falling to the ground
Someone save me, set me free
Smoke settles on my skin
Don't play with fire, you'll never win
Someone save me, let me breathe

Dear April
How was my sister and my little niece?
I truly hope that we'll meet
Cause my world is so incomplete
I requested a leave of absence
Hope these bastards will grant it
Cause these last few weeks
Have been so hard
You can't imagine
I was captured
I'm telling you, damn
Then I was rescued from an enemy's camp
Do you remember that day
When William and I
Departed from the harbor?
And April
You said look at our heroes goin' off to war
And William and I got upset
But we never told you why
Cause it's the soldiers that die
That are called heroes
And I know that William promised you he's coming home [?]
But April I've got bad news
Please don't hate me
But William won't be coming home to you sis'
See he was the hero that didn't make it out with the rest
He lost his life tryin' to save mine
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry
Wish I could exchange mine
I hope that you forgive me
I know that I'm guilty
I'm sorry sis'
This bullshit war and bullshit cause
Someone tell me the purpose of all of this
I love and miss you
And think about you, everyday
Until we meet again
Your brother Ray

Fires burning all around
Ashes falling to the ground
Someone save me, set me free
Smoke settles on my skin
Don't play with fire, you'll never win
Someone save me, let me breathe
