Soldiers Song Sung
Confoundly forward marches the soldiers bravely twords the war
On going is the beat of the drum that leads these men
To where the single trumpet plays a rebeling score
A battle ground where battles implore gore, the grapheties of war
The generals encharge more, once again obeastities twords the poor
This includes those enchored, the entangled, the ignored
War, it's so upstrangled, oh and I disincluded those forced
So have I yet struck a displaced chord, should I this poem abort
Caught between the memories, the struggle just to make it through
An empty wide open, and the millions of motions which gracefully do
Fought where theres freedom, brought here just for you
Those feelings make you an empty crew, fight it, don't get blue
Because now in this silience it's just me and you
Nothing more left here that will ever be new
I walked ten miles tonight
Attention diverted arms draw up tight
I surrenered the time
To get the answers right
The question forever there remains the same
I am no longer there, your to blame
Spinning circles emotions bringing forth the cause
I felt the whole world open putting that time on pause
The dawn begins at zero hour
The canyons flames burn at its blistering bowels
The range is now a burning ridge
My thoughts are now only a burning bridge
My eyes feel so empty without you in by my side
It hurts so much the whole crew got caught in the fight
With unswept memories I only stir though the night
I've wept, I've prayed, and then I cried
Searching for an answers of why you died
