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.

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.
