Against me
When I put my life down to protect you
Some People in suit and ties have managed to ride
Over the shoulders of some soldiers
Over the shoulders of some soldier (but who born dog)
I chose the hard way
and you chose soft way
You preferred the suits and ties but we live to die and I chose to die gallantly
So Why must you rise against me
