War

A soldier questioning his role in the perils of war

There's a black cloud outside my window.
Another in my heart.
Can't see light anymore
Darkness tearing me apart
Wondering who the hell my friends are
Is there anyone even there
Can you feel the pain I'm screaming
Angels get me out of here
Blood on my hands
Can I wash it away
Is it etched in my memory
Another time another place
They say the wheels are turning
Will they turn for me
Can I live this life unaided
Or will it swallow me
Bare my soul
Pray for redemption
Give me peace
Make my life an exception
Angel beside me
Can't breathe anymore
Pick me up I'm falling
Can't fight at all
Face has lost all expression
Tell my family goodbye
Did it for my country
Just don't know the reason why
