THE LONELY SOLDIER
There he stands
With blood upon his hands
His life on his mind
Not knowing what he'll find
And what should come to pass
But the sounds that he heard last
The agonizing screams
That are haunting all his dreams
But what was he to do
If he hadn't followed through
All hope would be lost
Life as we know it would be tossed
So he continues to fight on
Although most his friends are gone
No matter what the tolls
He will fight to save our souls

CHORUS:
The battle never ends
Brother vs. Brother and Friend vs. Friend
The battle never ends
The battle never ends

Through the smoke and tears
Without a sound to touch his ears
A brilliant flash of light
That pressed upon his sight
Visions of the past
Of times he thought would last
All of which are gone
Because swords and guns were drawn
While stillness filled the air
And blood ran through his hair
Time had seemed to freeze
As he felt a gentle breeze
The light fled from his face
As darkness conquered space
The tiny metal foe
Had struck its painful blow
Chorus
He opened up his eyes
And jumped with great surprise
He looked around, amazed
Confused and somewhat dazed
When his glance fell to his chest
Upon which bandages did rest
He heard a man begin to speak
And a tear ran down his cheek
Life took a different tone
For he survived...alone.
