Lyrics

Ballad for a Soldier

Alone on a moon lit trail
Were' your future drifts like sand
On a barren desert highway
That lead straight to reveille
Where a boy soldiers driven
By some unworthy men
While the rest of us listen
But so few understand

So keep marching boy
The worlds still a mess
For the men that you face
Will grant you no rest
All the letters from home
You kept by you chest
I pray for your return
I pray for your return

Alone on crowded street
Noone knows what that means
To see the world in augmented states
That masks the images you see

So keep marching boy
The worlds still a mess
For the men that you face
Will grant you no rest
All the letters from home
You kept by you chest
I pray for your return
I pray for your return

Alone in your finale resting place
No more morning reveille
Cold stone left to remind us
Of the sacrifice you made



So keep marching boy
The worlds still a mess
For the men that you face
Will grant you no rest
All the letters from home
You kept by you chest
I pray for your return
I pray for your return
