I was just a young boy
Barely turned eighteen
Sign your name on the dotted line
And you can follow your dream

Kissed my mother goodbye
I shook my father? s hand
As the dawn broke through the sky
I was off to become a man

I didn? t know what I was in for
I didn? t know their plan
Wicked webs spun bright with gold
From the twisted tongues of man

Their deception makes them
The true snakes of the land
I came to fight for my country
Not to beg from their hand

I can? t escape from the madness
I can? t erase all the pain
My dreams are wrought with the sadness
I can? t diminish the flame

I? m yearning for their forgiveness
To find a way to be free
From all the hatred I? ve witnessed
From my own misery

I didn? t know what I was in for
I didn? t know their plan
Wicked webs spun bright with gold
From the twisted tongues of man

Now I lie here dying
In the desert sand
Who will come and take me
Carry me to the promised land

I didn? t know what I was in for
I didn? t know their plan, no
I didn? t know what I was in for
I didn? t know their plan, no
I didn? t know what I was in for
I didn? t know their plan

I didn? t know what I was in for
I didn? t know their plan
Wicked webs spun bright with gold
From the twisted tongues of man

Their deception makes them
The true snakes of the land
We need someone to save us
Save us from our fellow man
