The Soldier |
| Shapes in the mind of a far away soldier |
| Scroll and rewind every reel of his life |
| As an enemy marksman just half a mile over, |
| Chambers the cartridge, adjusting his sights |
| Day turns to night for this far away soldier |
| Alone in the darkness with ghosts from his past |
| Simply turning back time would not vanquish the Trojans |
| We each walk the line that our destiny casts |
| I can remember that once in our lifetime |
| We burned like the embers, as lovers on fire |
| Eyes full of memories sublime and delirious, |
| Carried along by the thrill of our lives |
| Flames reaching out ebb and flow like the ocean, |
| Dancing and spiralling into the black, |
| Falling to earth without sound or commotion, |
| The Mother of life takes her beloved back |
| Time, hope and tenderness, fall by the wayside, |
| We yearn for the laughter through tear stained eyes |
| Lies, love and envy at times much too serious |
| Battered and torn by the will of the tide |
| Closes his eyes, with his dreams for a moment, |
| Cradled at peace as the centuries pass |
| If he wakes up to find he might do it all over |
| Would he have the sense to know when to turn back? |
