Drifting

Through echoes and dreams

Somewhere along the line
We all stopped here to say goodbye

To our hopes
To our dreams
To the lives
We wanted to lead

And the plane touched on the ground
To the culprit

And the gunfire I knew
Like the beating of a heart

In a dance
A firefight
In the glow
Bombs in twilight

She carried me away

My thoughts
And prayers that day

So would you silently
And could you passively
Or would you
Be like me

And dance
Trigger of the gun
A promise I never won

To the coach
Or the man upon the floor

I can’t take it anymore

In this cell -
Damn it �" war is hell!

So she carries me away

In my thoughts
And my prayers that day

And she whispers silently
In a smile cautiously

In trance I heard you scream
In the distance of a dream

And a baby there was born
To the world
To the war
To the rip I helped get torn

Just a puppet in the dance
A firefight romance

In the prison of my cell
God damn it �" war is hell

 

So,
In whisper I would cry
This false bravado lie

I wanted nothing more

But the blood
And the pain

Sitting on the floor with heartache in the rain!

 

So she carries me away

In my thoughts
Unheard prayers that day

She carries
Me away

In my hopes and prayers that day

She whispers
To my dreams

To the place I always see

 

But the hell to pay
For me

Is to be so far away.
