And all the filth
Upon the floor
From days and weeks
And years before
Remind me of my mama's face
I'm drunk with fear
The war has come
And I will go
To march through rain
And blood and snow
They say it’s easy killin' folks
I’m drunk with fear
The choir stands
To sing a hymn
The walls they crack
A man walks in
He's standing there, knee deep in sin
I'm drunk with fear
I cower down behind my chair
I got my gun hidden there
I lock and load
And whisper prayers
I’m drunk with fear
Drunk with fear
Sick with dread
This war is endless
Lord above, lord below
I ain't never felt so low
Remember Jim from down the street?
I watched him crawl I watched him creep
I watched him die like butchered meat
I'm drunk with fear
And then there's Hal
Remember him?
He taught my brother how to swim
I watched some folks dismember him
I'm drunk with fear
