Escalator of Progress

Helmet on and spear in hand They look up ready to throw Waiting on the enemy to be in range They're ready to go But heads up heads up There's something raining down from the sky Arrows there are falling now It's looking like we're all gonna die And the beat goes on One on their helmets and One hand gripping the reigns Swords are at the ready Matching armor so they all look the same Now what's that in the back The enemy has metal pipes Canon shot destroys the calvary The Bullets taking all of their lives And the beat goes on Finger on the trigger Now they're waiting on their foe to come by Rifle stock at shoulder level Their scope rests against their eye Now heads up heads up There's an airplane flying overhead Dropping bombs on the platoon And now the soldiers are all dead And the beat goes on Waiting at the door For his wife to finally come home Excited now to show her All he did for her while he was alone But heads up heads up A messenger is at the door Papers that she sent Now his head and heart hit the floor And the beat goes on
