14 Bullets / the Power of Love

Five seconds was all it took

14 bullets; hit the mark

Blood pouring from his veins

Panic; shock' pain set in; only

Thoughts of survival in his mind

How to get out of the way

Crawl to safety; escape the fire!

Slow down the heartbeat; stem the flow!
Slow down the breathing; don't panic now!
Think only of what you're leaving behind! 
Can't cope with those thoughts;
Must live to fight another day!
Thoughts of family; the only way!
Body failing; legs gave way!
Coldness creeping; body shutting down
Keeping all for heart and soul!
Hands so numb; legs the same!
Have to save the lifeblood for the flame!
Brightest white light; all feeling gone!
Three hours later; saved by the guys
Ambulance; sirens; helicopter flight!
