At worlds end
Father can you see me
hobbling in the breeze
the war is over
can i come home now
I don't see why I can't
Left innocent
came back tainted
The blood of enemy on my hands
Signed up at age sixteen
Never been the same
Dust and smoke
Choke the horizon
Gun fire
and the temperatures rising
If I smile
Would they give and inch
to my survival
Or would they spit in my face
beat me around and call me a disgrace
Now its over
and I can go home
I wonder if they remember me
I wonder where everyone has gone
charred remains where my house once lay
Were they token away
Were they shot on site
Invading armies passed
took them all away
The normal sunny skis
had all went Grey
I am a man
But I have a childs heart
I thought nothing in this world
Could tear us apart
