ONCE UPON A YEAR AGO

"New year New Me"

Once upon a year ago went to a party with friends

Youth, music, drugs and alcohol

Thought the night would never end

Run he's about to shoot

Years later the memory is an endless time loop

Once upon a year ago went to a party with friends

By two A.M. transformed into soldiers let the war begin

The rush of adrenaline, firearms and screams

The crowd quickly dispurse as if there's nothing to be seen

The enemy fell that night with loud bangs over and over

Thoughts flailing just knew he will never recover

Back at the camp there were Oorah and shouts of victory

As if measured up to real soldiers from a brave infantry

Once upon a year ago the savage was awaken

Gun battles and street fights was not a risk to be taking

Often hear stories about friends from once upon a year ago

Stuck in the same dilemma from once upon a year ago
