Green ghosts dance in my night vision

Eyes of the Drone
I sit in a darkened room
Joystick in my hand
An eagle eye for evil
Launch button at my command
I transcend fellow feeling and love
20 minutes from home, 2,000 miles above
For I am the eyes, I’m not the heart
I’ m just the eyes of the drone
Run mullah run
I am the enforcer of good
A power not understood
But duty always deeply affirmed
Target acquired, not yet confirmed
For I’m just the eyes of the drone
Wait, is that a school?
Is that a mosque?
Or the man who couldn’t be bought?
For I am the eyes, I’m just the eyes
I am the eyes of the drone
Green ghosts dance in my night vision
I ask the brain for a decision
Can you confirm?
Can you confirm?
My conscience feels fine
The decision’s not mine
Mine is not to think
Mine is never to blink
Target acquired
Target confirmed
Missiles away
This night I’ll pray
My dreams won’t betray
That what I will see
I will not see again
Wait, was that a school?
Was that a mosque?
The man who could not be bought?
I’ll never know, for I’m just the eyes
I am the eyes of the drone
