Man Down Queensryche Studio Version with Lyrics

Like the description says, this is the song Man Down from Queensryche's new album AMerican Soldier. Enjoy.

Lyrics:
Hey, I'm okay.
Another day, another nightmare begins.
And the sound that I hear
is the relentless firing in my head.
Shifting gear in the driver's seat as
the finger of god signals me
and this concrete bloodline carries me.
Never thought I'd bring the war back home.
I'm a number; I'm a casualty of war
for a cause I never had the chance,
didn't understand the score.
They told me that I'd be okay,
assume civilian life, live day to day.
But when I think about it my hands still shake,
and I know what I am...
Man Down!
I'm in overdrive, barely alive!
As long as I keep moving, I'm all right.
Was that a muzzle flash from my past
or just my mind misfiring?
With one eye in mirror I see
the 'Cavalry of god" coming up on me.
Bumper to bumper, traveling fast,
waving Satan over...
I'm a number; I'm a casualty of war,
for a cause I never had the chance,
never understood the score.
They told me that I'd be okay,
assume civilian life, live day to day.
But when I think about it my hands still shake,
and I know what I am...
Man Down!

@metallica5252 Sorry, I just found the lyrics and went through them and I didn't see that. Thanks.

This album is amazing. In typical Queensryche fashion, it gets better with each listen. Queensryche put on one of the best shows of the year ('09). I saw them in Denver, CO. A+.

I loved this album since I first got it a few weeks ago and I still haven't stopped listening to it. ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER!!!!!!

I am not without my own demons of course. Just not as many as some of my friends. Life is lived one day at a time. I have no time for hatred for peeps that I havent seen in decades now. Not hating your enemies is the first step in not hating yourself, least not so much. Bad things happen in war, and it can bring out the worst and best in a person. Its that worse side of our nature that peeps hate about themselves, most just don't know, realize it.

@traben43 Too often people combine military and political togather. War is the final "discussion" on an issue, least that has been said. Too often we read between lines that dont exist, see shadows where there is none.

I spent time in the middle east and I can say that the issue me and my bros deal with is what we make of the stuff we see/ endured. I have a friend or two who has alot of hatred n issues. I choose to let go of them, never keep em inside and I personally have less problems.

The powers that be fuck with this generation at their own risk. Do you really teach the people you are oppressing Counter-Insurgency tactics?

[JonP1961]
