Defending the Truth

Yeah, sorry, a lot more than one line, but I had to. This song is about a fallen soldier. I left out the refrains.
Ever since I've heard this song, I keep thinking about all our soldiers out there, and I wish for each and every one of you out there, seeing horrors that you are sparing us, your friends and families and strangers you don't even know, watching each other's backs every day and every night, keeping each other alive, that you are in my thoughts back here at home, and I wish you a safe return to those who so patiently await your return, and I know there are others out there who feel the same way, but you don't hear it, so I'll say it for the quiet ones as well.
Thank You.
And to all the families and friends out there, faithfully waiting for their soldiers to come home, we know you have a hard job too. Lots of changes go on in your lives, and you often make the sacrifice as well, so Thank You too.
I do hope for a world at peace, but as history has taught us, sometimes in order for there to be peace, there must be war. Fundamentalists on all sides exist, even in economic policy. This economic fundamentalism, even capitalism taken to the extreme, along with religious intolerance and misinterpreted religious wisdom, seems to be the cause for this war, from my humble point of view.
Therefore, I hope one day, that people put people first. That there will be a day when no one goes without food, clean water and safe housing.
And sadly, because of the way the world is run, that means we are going to need soldiers who are willing to sacrifice their lives to ensure the world will make these steps forward. In places like the Sudan region of Darfur, and other war-torn regions of the world, where murder, terror and starvation are life.
Soldiers, you can change the world.

"...He laid on his back,
His firearms by his side
Hearin no sound
Just watchin the fireworks in the sky
I walk by
Look down he still smiling
Cause he’s done fightin
A fallen soldier
Now his war’s over
Don’t matter which side is wrong or right
Some innocent lives will be lost on the battlefield tonight
So hungry to kill
Only his death can curb his appetite
Live ammo hit the flesh
And it feels so right
I’ve embellished my life
Now God please tell me is this what death’s like?
???
…kept his innocence
Heavy hearted spouse
Clingin on to anything intimate
She can find around the house
What’s the difference between Bush and Saddam?
Sheik Ahmed Yassin, Osama Bin Laden
????
…Fidel Castro
It seems to me they on the same team
They hate only lead to innocent blood streams
If it’s so important
To fight for mankind
Well I don’t see none of they kinfolk
Out there on the front line.
And I’m a soldier
Right here – hip-hop – with my guns by my side
Ready to ride till I die
And I’m a soldier
And you can see it in my eyes
Even when the man dies
They say a soldier never cries
And I’m a soldier
Until the day they take my life..."

Reading those lyrics gave me a cold chill there...

Now that this has been moved from the name that song thread.....

can you tell us who sings it?

Chemical Brothers on the Push the Button CD.

I think I teared up the first time I heard it thinking about the people I know that have been over there or will be.

That's why it gave me a chill...It hit close to home for me as well for the reason it made you tear up.

Sorry 'bout that OTF. I just realized I didn't put down the song name(seemsto be a pattern developing here). The name of the song is Left Right.
