This song stems from a close friend of mine who has severe PTSD from their time spent serving our country. He was sharing some stories with me one night and this is what came of that. This is the first time I ever felt so moved by someone's personal story that I tried to write about it on a song. I removed specifics and made a few things vague to try and remove any connection. And I never really made anyone aware of that until now.

LYRICS:
Where is freedom
Where is freedom ringing
Where is freedom ringing

I was born to breed fear
Torn between tears
In a war of moral quarrels
Forced to be here
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning
I was born to breed fear
Torn between tears
In a war of moral quarrels
Forced to be here
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning

At seventeen, I was an athlete
Never had to be the better man I had to be
A catastrophe was among half these teens
Cause the draft was attached and after me
So I packed my bags and brought my things
Kissed my mother and my father then I saw them cringe
You could hear the fear that trembled in their chins
Saw my peers and my next of kin
Kept holding on to them close
Hoping I would see them again
Then it went, quicker than daylight
In the midst I was sent, equipped, and then made flight
To the base and my face never looked so cold
It shook me froze to know I'm alone in a place
I could never call home
Where is freedom
Where is freedom ringing
Where is freedom ringing

I was born to breed fear
Torn between tears
In a war of moral quarrels
Forced to be here
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning
I was born to breed fear
Torn between tears
In a war of moral quarrels
Forced to be here
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning

Stationed at a place that made me feel so vagrant
I was laying on the ground bullet shells and pavement
It's hell and Satan is making his mark
Fallen soldiers only slowed us down in the dark
And its hard, weeping and believing in a modest God
So I trotted on armed with one eagle and one P90
Didn't even feel safe with the tank behind me
Til it sank and the flames started unwinding
To my face where it made a faint whining message
Take whatever soldiers who's life were ending
Put them in a ditch; get them out of that wreckage
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning
Where is freedom
Where is freedom ringing
Where is freedom ringing

I was born to breed fear
Torn between tears
In a war of moral quarrels
Forced to be here
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning
I was born to breed fear
Torn between tears
In a war of moral quarrels
Forced to be here
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning

I was awarded a formal badge of courage
Thrown back into the war for this morbid purpose
And I'm earning an assertive fifty g's a year
To die for my country; to weep all these tears
I don't see the meaning of being involved in this here
I mean it's meaningless
When we've fought for years
Succumbed by the government; It's what we love to fear
Where is freedom ringing

I was born to breed fear
Torn between tears
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning
Where is freedom
Where is freedom ringing
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning
Where is freedom
Where is freedom ringing
Where is freedom ringing

I was born to breed fear
Torn between tears
In a war of moral quarrels
Forced to be here
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning
I was born to breed fear
Torn between tears
In a war of moral quarrels
Forced to be here
The more we need it the more we see
Our enemies bleeding from our freedom
And we keep on depleting the meaning
Where is freedom ringing
