Good soldiers follow orders

In the conflict, a figure starts to rise

Powerful on the horizon fate lies

Identical troopers covered in white

March through the endless night

 

Brothers fight side by side through crossfire

Bound by duty, driven by desire

Machines of war, created to fight

And save the republic’s fading light

 

Commanders lead squadrons onto the field

They follow orders, and never yield

They do what they’re told, never question

The brothers ignore any misconception

 

Because good soldiers follow orders

And they march along their base’s borders

They shoot when told to, how they were taught

They obey without any afterthought

 

For in the end, when all seems lost

Courage and hope will pay the cost

Through the chancellor’s plans they act

In the battle, they fire, intact

 

A shadow looms, a hidden hand

Guiding both sides with a dark command

Brothers turned against their kin

A tragic end, where none can win

 

The light extinguished, hearts turned cold

A tale of sorrow, yet to be told

In the silence, echoes remain

Of heroes lost, and endless pain

 

But good soldiers follow orders

The instructions coming from the chancellor’s quarters

They did the right thing, or so they wonder

They answered the call of war’s destructive thunder
