Son, we live in a world that has walls. And those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago and you curse the marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. (beat) You don't want the truth. Because deep down, in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall. You want me there (boasting) We use words like honor, code, loyalty...we use these words as the backbone to a life spent defending something. You use 'em as a punchline. (beat) I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom I provide, then questions the manner in which I provide it. I'd prefer you just said thank you and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. Either way, I don't give a damn what you think you're entitled to.

IN DUE TIME LYRICS Pacing aimlessly, when my mind's at unrest Unsure of what may come What have I done to, bring this down on me? Helpless to make this undone
All in due time See the world through different eyes All in due time Shadows will give way to light
How much more can I give of myself? As these walls, close in on me As I slip down into this despair (To this despair) There is nothing to attain
What victory? (What victory?) When my soul is weak (Is weak) When does my help come through?
All in due time See the world through different eyes (I see the world through different eyes) All in due time Shadows will give way, give way to light
All that we suffer through Leads to determination The trials we all go through Gives us the strength to carry on Something within us burns Desire feeds the will to live
A reason to believe! I will see redemption! Yeah!
All in due time See the world through different eyes! (I see the world through different eyes) All in due time Shadows will give way, give way to light
All in due time
@navyvet76 Though I love Howard, I'm so glad to see Jesse back at the forefront
I started following them with Jesse and also was listening to Howard's old band Blood Has Been Shed back then.
Loved Blood has been shed! Devil you know is pretty good as well. Jesse had a couple of other decent bands too, but I never really listened to them much

I've been singing this line in my head lately: "I can see through you, see to the real you" by Staind's "Outside" song. It has meaning at this time for me and I heard the song just today.
@pmvines: apparently the topic had already been started a while ago, so thanks for letting us know.
