Woke him up with a barrel to his head
His eyes shut tight bracing for the blow
Resigning his life to the metal held
In another man's hand
Twenty days in a concrete fallout
What life have i to take your own
Oh my country won't you call out
Doorbells are ringing with boxes of bones
...And from another land's war torn corners
To a prison cell in my own
Punish me for not taking your orders
But don't lock me up for not leavin' my home
Your words just a bloody fallacy
You tried to recreate normandy
(But you) made up the reason to fight
And now red oil is spillin' down on the street
And your eyes too big for the belly is weak
Will you not refuse this currency
Or is blood money just money to you
Is blood money just money to you
Twenty days in a concrete fallout
What life have i to take your own
Oh my country won't you call out
Doorbells are ringing with boxes of bones
...And from another land's war torn corners
To a prison cell in my own
Punish me for not taking your orders
But don't lock me up for not leavin' my home
(repeat previous chorus)
Second ending: ...leavin' my home Camilo, Camilo
Leavin' my home Camilo, Camilo
(Repeat until solo)
(Solo)

About this song: Camilo
"Camilo," is ultimately about a man and war. In October of 2003, Sergeant Camilo Mejia, returned home from Iraq and tried to be a conscientious objector, however he was rejected. A conscientious objector is someone who refuses to participate in military service on the basis of religious or moral principles. Sergeant Mejia was considered AWOL. The first verse explains the life of one man ending. "His eyes shut tight bracing for the blow. Resigning his life to the metal held, in another man's hand," explains how this man knew he was going to die and all he could do was shut his eyes and wait.
