A soldier called to the front lines Fighting an uninvited battle With another enemy The war continues but a heart Remembers the journey's way
After all has happened When we see the evil that man can do I'll still be patrolling these trenches Searching for who I used to be
Barely holding to what sanity remains The thought of you is my only constant I imagine beyond this hell Praying it won't last forever And when they give me leave I'll mortar all my broken stones And lay them on the path That leads me home to you.
