Cowardice is the perceived failure to demonstrate sufficient mental robustness and courage in the face of a challenge. Under many military codes of justice, cowardice in the face of combat is a crime punishable by death (cf. shot at dawn). The term describes a personality trait which is viewed as a negative characteristic and has been shunned and disdained (see norms) within most, if not all cultures, while courage, typically viewed as its direct opposite, is generally rewarded and encouraged.
Cowards are usually seen to have avoided or refused to engage in a confrontation or struggle which has been deemed good or righteous by the wider culture in which they live. On a more mundane level, the label may be applied to those who are regarded as too frightened or overwhelmed to defend their rights or those of others from aggressors in their lives.
Acts of cowardice have long been punishable by military law, which defines a wide range of cowardly offenses including desertion in face of the enemy and surrendering to the enemy against orders. The punishment for such acts is typically severe, ranging from corporal punishment to the death sentence. Cowardly conduct is specifically mentioned within the United States Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Sitting in the corner
Staring at the wall
Rosy dreams forgotten
What was right turned wrong
Hiding from reality
All emotions gone
Chorus:
Coward!
Fucking coward!
You are lost. No friends. Hard to make them care...
Thought you were clever
Laughed at all the rest
Listened to the others
Making a pretence
Lived from peoples charity
Never even guessed
Chorus:
Coward!
Fucking coward!
You are stuck! Just stuck!
Can't move on
No escape. No return.
Visions of the past
Fighting back
Agonize in your head
Apathetic smile
Will depressed
Fear to life, fear of death
Tear apart your soul
You don't mind
If you live or you die
Feel frustration.
Time will pass, you know
What I mean
That is life - sink or swim
Painful memories
Fade away
Leaving shadows on your face
