SOLDIER

I am a soldier, been gone for way too long
Yesterday's just a clouded memory
Another day in a foreign land, riding out with a gun in my hand

Embrace the darkness surrounding me

I hope my family never sees
The Monster that lives inside of me
The things I've had to do, where the nightmares they all come true
Wonder if they'll go away

Keep calm, soldier on
Crosshairs steady, another notch in my gun
But I lost my friend the other day
Another year has passed me bye
Another chance to make it out alive
Wrote a letter said I'm coming home

I hope my family never sees
The Monster that lives inside of me
The things I've had to do, where the nightmares they all come true
Wonder if they'll go away

A land divided that's where I'm from

Then complains cause it's not enough
But you and I we've made our stand, made a vow to defend this land
And we know that freedom isn't free

I hope my family never sees
The Monster that lives inside of me
The things I've had to do, where the nightmares they all come true
Wonder if they'll go away
