Drunk with Fear

And all the filth
Upon the floor
From days and weeks
And years before
Remind me of my mama’s face
I’m drunk with fear
The war has come
And I will go
To march through rain
And blood and snow
They say it’s easy killin' folks
I’m drunk with fear
The choir stands
To sing a hymn
The walls they crack
A man walks in
He’s standing there, knee deep in sin
I’m drunk with fear
I cower down behind my chair
I got my gun hidden there
I lock and load
And whisper prayers
I’m drunk with fear
Drunk with fear
Sick with dread
This war is endless
LORD above, LORD below
I ain’t never felt so low
Remember Jim from down the street?
I watched him crawl I watched him creep
I watched him die like butchered meat
I’m drunk with fear
And then there’s Hal
Remember him?
He taught my brother how to swim
I watched some folks dismember him
I’m drunk with fear
