Still A Soldier

I long for you to
sing me your sweet song
luring me to sleep
with youre loving lullaby

i see no stars
over head as i fall witness
to treacherous death
and flames illuminate the night

i wish to go home
and erase what i have
seen, as grenades
take lives and lovers

i feel no hope for
victory, but know i must
go on to honor friends
and protect beloved family.
