Soldier
Paint my eyes black
And let me see
All that is left,
Left of me
White skin
Cold as marble
Hard hands
Course with use
Powerful muscles
Worn from fighting
Carry me forward
To a broken horizon
Let me feel
The wind on my skin
Let me hold
My shattered heart
Let me kiss
The falling rain
And tell myself its all okay
Paint my eyes black
And let me see
All that is left,
Left of me
A battlefield
Frozen in time
Left behind
To hear the echoing screams and the agonized cries
Of all that is left
Left of me
I leave behind
And take with me
A shattered heart
Filled with glee
Paint my eyes black
And let me see
All that is left,
Left of me
