I cornered my men
And slit their throats
One by one
I cornered my men
And slit their throats
Atrocity committed in the name of survival
Switch
Slit their throats
One by one
A reminder of my failure as a soldier
I watched them bleed to death
One by one
Switch
I once commanded a ship like this one
A loyal crew, with many friends
It was captured, only I escaped
Indoctrinated, the Reapers sent them against me
Year after year, battle after battle
I was hunted by my own people
Every encounter, a reminder of my failure as a soldier
Until the Battle of the Kronian Nebula
I had only my knife left
I cornered my men
And slit their throats, one by one
I watched them bleed to death to be certain
In the name of survival
I cornered my men
And slit their throats
One by one
It was the day I understood
That war is atrocity committed in the name of survival
I wish I had never learned
I watched them bleed to death
It was the day I understood
That war is atrocity committed in the name of survival
It was a lesson I wish I had never learned
