I tried to wash it all away
It seems the stains are here to stay
The things I've done
Even the ones I've seen
Seem to be branded into my mind
The Devil told me,he's not to blame
Would Heaven do the same....
Thought I was doing good
Keeping the enemy at far
The nightmares and crying
I try to rub them away
Oh my God,are they here to stay
It was real,no dreams to me
The noise,the death,the blood
Day and might,no sleep for us....
Ok they say
Your time is up
Be it to die,I think they were the lucky ones
Returning home,with nightmares in pocket
I drank away my day
Which turned into nights....
Some went back
It was a comfort they knew
Never to sleep,but to fight
You feel the draw of death
Day by Day....
Do I dare walk that bridge
Or glare down towards the water
As others did
To look down a barrel of a weapon
To end the dreams you know....
The words just don't come out
For all to understand
That's why we keep to ourselves
It wasn't a plan....
End these wars please
Before we waste away
More and more are coming home
More and more with nothing to say
Like I say,we tried to wash it away....
But it just seems
I'm on the wrong side of Heaven
The bad side of hell.....
