Soldier's Plea

The waning sun which lies before me
Holds the answer of eternity
So on I run, try to chase a rainbow
Though my task seems so impossible

I'm a nomad, from which gypsies spawn
My loyalty is mine to own
I steal for food, I'll kill for shelter
My rule in life is strength of me

And why should I try to protect you
You'd stab me if you had the chance
Still yet you try to tie me down
When morning comes, I can't be found

I am free eternally
My soul still wanders from sea to sea
A warrior's soul which shall not break
And always I'll decide what to take from you

Do you know what it feels like
Not to know a friend from foe
Know the fear a soldier feels
With the sound of mortars drawing near

And why should I fight in this war
When we don't belong here anymore
Still yet I try to forge ahead
Now people from our hands are dead

He returns safe to his homeland
Greeted by spit and insults from his friends

A boy to a man that didn't see his rite of passage was anarchy
Chaos in war spreads like a plague
Just grant forgiveness for the lives I take on this day
