Hey let's welcome home
a Soldier boy's return
with blood still on his hands
look into his eye's of innocence
and find a different man

He looks into those forgotten eye's
where love once use to shine
only to see a fire burn
a past from so long ago
he's lost somewhere in time
and no one understands

Once he had a pocket full of dreams
but now the nightmares they echo
filled with only violent screams
as another Soldier dies

He runs into a room alone
against his own shadow
screaming for forgiveness
but nobody can hear him shout
now there's no way out
and he feel's no one gives a ****
