| We arrive and are blinded
|
| By twisted rubble and piercing light
|
| Screaming sounds of the sirens
|
| Rip through the air on this sleepless night
|
| Take this boy and remind him
|
| Just how fragile his unsewn life
|
| His daily dose of destruction
|
| Sleeps with his gun, his surrogate wife
|
| Mother fears the door
|
| Baby’s off at war
|
| Just like dad before
|
| Left soulless
|
| Promised there’s an end
|
| Just around the bend
|
| Lost another friend
|
| Left soulless
|
| Soulless ghost in the air
|
| Helpless feeling of despair
|
| Broken body, scarred mind
|
| They’re soulless
|
| Men, women and children
|
| Huddle together or stand and fight
|
| Enemies or our allies
|
| Can’t tell the difference, he’s blind with fright
|
| He reads letters from mother
|
| Shares photographs from another life
|
| Falling to friendly fire
|
| Today was this hero’s final fight
|
| Mother fears the door
|
| Baby’s off at war
|
| Just like dad before
|
| Left soulless
|
| Promised there’s an end
|
| Just around the bend
|
| Lost another friend
|
| Left soulless
|
| Soulless ghost in the air
|
| Helpless feeling of despair
|
| Broken body, scarred mind
|
| They’re soulless
|
| Left shameless
|
| Left nameless
|
| Left faithless
|
| Left soulless
|
| Soulless ghost in the air
|
| Helpless feeling of despair
|
| Broken body, scarred mind
|
| They’re soulless
|
| Soulless ghost in the air
|
| Helpless feeling of despair
|
| Broken body, scarred mind
|
| They’re soulless
|
| Left sightless
|
| Left mindless
|
| Left heartless
|
| Left hopeless
|
| Gone insane, endless pain
|
| Enter the room to find there’s no one left
|
| Guiltless time, poisoned mind
|
| Mocking clocks they chime, you’re in traction
|
| Wasted days, again betrayed
|
| A once honored hero now stains the mattress
|
| No one calls, blood-stained walls
|
| Mother needle holds you to her breast
|
| Skin and bones
|
| Your life is left soulless |
