Judas Priest - Dying to Meet You lyrics

Came in this morning high on a bird's wing
Wide open-minded, but still quite aware
Followed the sunrise right
Through from dawning
Picking out landmarks that said I was there
Lead to positions by stern-faced leaders
Who never let one smile
Depart from their face

Then with an arm raised
The slaughter is started
One or two crack up and start to cry
A selfishness breeds in this
Cesspool of sorrow
And every few moments I see a friend die
Synchronized watches flash in the sunlight
As into the battle, we are all led

Killer, killer, you keep your thoughts at bay
Maiming, destroying every single day
Is this the way that you get your fun
Slaying, waylaying in the heat
Of the midday sun
Get out, get out, go and do your job
Rape and pillage, squander all and rob
You make me sick getting paid for murder
But, you wouldn't lay a finger
On your mother, oh, no
You'll never ever dream to hurt her

Hero, hero, you have done so well
So sit back and lick your wounds
Because you won't go to hell
Take your medal, wear it now with pride
Consolation for the pain and
Sin you feel inside
