You must be the perfect soldier
Capable of fulfilling your task
At any cost-
At the cost of yourself
At the cost of your companions
At the cost of your body
At the cost of your individuality
At the cost of your soul

No matter what,
You need to fulfill your mission
Be the perfect killing machine
That you are,
You are the perfect soldier
Everyone should strive to be like you

Put on the cap, perfect soldier
You’re going to war after all
Hey, the first 6 months of war wasn’t so bad
Are you able to keep up, soldier?
If so, we can keep going for two more years
Just two years of straight war and bloodshed

Oi soldier, you’re severely wounded
You need the hospital
Or else you’ll bleed to death
Hey soldier, don’t go into the warzone anymore
You’re too severely injured to fight
Anymore and you will bleed to death
Either that or the enemy will kill you

Captain I would like a break…
“A break? You’re our best soldier
What would we do without you?”
If I keep on going, I’m going to die
“Alright soldier, go take a break
I wouldn’t want you dying on me”

I’m the perfect soldier,
I desire to be on the battlefield
Fight for my people’s enemies
Be the courageous hero…
That everyone sees me as
I want all the glory
