[00:31.77]I met a young soldier
[00:34.58]He said his name was Killer Kyle
[00:41.05]He was shakin' all over
[00:44.23]Like a night-frightened child
[00:48.09]This is his story
[00:50.98]It's a tough one for me to sing
[00:56.77]Hard as the squawk and the flap
[01:00.33]And the beat of--the beat of black wings
[01:07.02]
[01:29.41]"They gave me a gun," he said
[01:32.43]"They gave me a mission
[01:38.02]For the power and the glory--
[01:42.92]Propaganda--piss on 'em
[01:46.01]There's a war zone inside me--
[01:49.00]I can feel things exploding--
[01:54.19]I can't even hear the ****ing music playing
[01:57.88]For the beat of--the beat of black wings."
[02:02.90]
[02:26.08]He said, "I never had nothin'--
[02:30.22]Nothin' I could believe in
[02:36.21]My girl killed our unborn child
[02:40.52]Without even grievin'!
[02:43.34]I put my hands on her belly
[02:46.33]To feel the kid kickin'--damn!
[02:51.97]She'd been to some clinic
[02:55.62]Oh--the beat of black wings."
[02:59.56]
[03:23.61]"They want you--they need you--
[03:28.06]They train you to kill--
[03:32.90]To be a pin on some map--
[03:37.04]Some vicarious thrill--
[03:39.69]The old hate the young
[03:42.40]That's the whole heartless thing
[03:48.90]The old pick the wars
[03:50.83]We die in 'em
[03:51.99]To the beat of--the beat of black wings."
[03:56.78]
[04:20.81]There's a man drawing pictures
[04:23.87]On the sidewalk with chalk
[04:30.48]Just as fast as he draws 'em
[04:34.29]Rain come down and wash 'em off
[04:37.84]"Keep the drinks comin' girl
[04:40.90]'Til I can't feel anything
[04:45.92]I'm just a chalk mark in a rainstorm
[04:50.70]I'm just the beat of black wings."
