Story behind the song
A song about the courage it must take to face fire the first, and I guess every, time.
Lyrics
Bile and Sand
1st verse
Johnny my finger is on the trigger
And I’m holding death in my hand
Johnny I think that this is the night
We're gonna kill a fellow man
2nd Verse
I got this feeling deep inside
Like it’s living in my bones
Johnny I know that you got my back
But I just want to go home
Chorus
(Feel like)There’s a bullet with my name on it
Creeping around in the dark
Johnny I think that this is the night
I finally play my part
I know what fear tastes like
It tastes like bile and sand
How do you fight a holy war
In a God forsaken land
3rd Verse
Johnny we’re just young kids you know
Hell we Can’t even have us a drink
They trained us to be these killing machines
They can’t train us not to think.
4th verse
Johnny I got your back you know
Blood brothers till the end
No greater love has a man
Than to lay down his life for a friend
Final Chorus
