Kiss of Death

When the bomb exploded, he flew high and landed on is head,
I tried to do C.P.R. I didn't know that he was dead.
I looked into is eyes, so empty and so far away,
I knew my battle buddy was going, I knew he wasn't ok.
I ran and fired, bullets blazing,
the stench of death was nauseating.
The enemy fired back, my buddies dropped in a ripple effect,
we didn't know what was coming next.
I dove for cover from the line of fire,
the next man didn't, he was waiting for is life to expire.
I paused for a minute to prey for another day, 
I didn't see the bullet heading my way.
I see my entire life flash before my eyes,
no time for regrets or for good-byes.
Oh! how painful it is awaiting that last breath,
the dark angel has appeared with the kiss of death.
