Only a Dream?

by Mark   Jun 11, 2008


With honor in his heart
and rage in his hands
he will fight for his country
in the Mideastern sands

there he will see the ghosts
surviving shadows of a nightmare
ashes from corpses that forever stays
and haunt to our very last days

but dear soldier you shall nothing feel
you are just a machine so don't forget
to proudly kill all enemies
cause your patriotism needs to be fed

but who dares to speak inside your head?
the one that screams for the war to end
"Go home soldier, I warn you now...
Wake up son, it's time to defend"

our soldier opens his eyes
feels the warmth of his fathers essence
thank God, for this was only a dream...
and that he is safe in his fathers presence

he KNOWS that this was just a dream
and that war is far from what he felt
a patriot he is and will always be
that feeling will in his heart forever be held

though still the dream haunts his mind
while finish packing his military bag
all thoughts disappears, when he feels the glow
the glow from his countries mother-flag
