He Stands Alone

He's a soldier So brave and strong Mission after mission Never gone too long A gun, a knife, a tank A weapon not his choice A war started long ago His goal to raise his voice The enemy is armed In unforgiving ways Children, women, bodies Scrupulous displays Head games, body aches Home so far from here Reality is insanity No time to fear Nightmares are visions And soon they will be gone War will be over Clouds convert to sun Stand tall don't break Fight until the last Souls like iron Faces hidden in masks Voiceless corpses heaved Buried and burned Soldier keeps walking Eyes absorb but his back is turned Kill or be killed Wars awful plan No tears to shed From this young man
