Lyrics Deserter - For Today

Deserter

Help me light the way for the brothers that we have lost
Their silence on the pain is still replayed
For all that we are not
Across the plains of everything
I see wreckage standing where revival
Used to be
No sadder sight than the work their hands abandoned
Leaving vacant towers to crumble in the sand
Fear brings out the worst in men
They go where there is nothing but destruction
And they thrive in it
Fear brings out the worst in men
They turn away from anything their prideful heart resists
Light a candle for the lost
The ones who wander in the dark
Seeking help form helpless hearts
Light a candle for the lost
I still remember, I still remember
Who you are
I still remember who you are
Help me light the way for the brothers we have lost
Their silence on the pain is still replayed
For all that we are not
I walk the same path my brothers once began
But it’s much lonelier tonight than it was back then
Wearied by the storms and subtle songs of discontent
I watched heroes fall along the way
Where angels fear to tread
Deserter, your truth is left unsaid
Deserter, there’s war there’s a war
Inside your head
Deserter, I remember you
There was a dream in your heart
I could see from the start
And it never came true
Deserter, I remember you
I see the pain in your eyes
And the fear that you hide
From the brothers you once knew
So light a candle for the lost
The ones who wander in the dark
Seeking help from helpless hearts
So light a candle for the lost
The ones who wander in the dark
Seeking help from helpless hearts
Light a candle for the lost
I still remember, I still remember
