Missing In Action
Trapped in this heat
Trapped in this leaf
They've all gone now
No one but me
Left for dead
In the wild jungle stream
The further I go
The jungle takes me
The longer I stay
The jungle sees me
Days turn into months
Skulls of beasts that I eat
Become my friends with no voice
My comrades and me
The sounds of the wild
Rush through my mind
I'm not a man anymore
I'm accustomed to true nature of mankind
I sing songs to the trees
I dance in the down pouring rain
In the cold of the night
I listen to the crackle of flame
The years past now have gone
Years under stars and the sun
As the soldiers come through
I watch from shadow who's who
Unaware that I'm here
Unaware that I see
I'm not a soldier anymore
I'm a being of the trees
