Lyrics
Invisible Son
Jerry left the jungle a hero
A captain, a leader of men
Last shot ringing in his head
Awake, Alive, Afraid, Alone
The General shook his only hand
Hung a metal around his neck
Thank you, son - you can go home again
But there?s no one there
So he sits and stares
At the emptiness
The future, the past, a shadow
Awake, Alive, Afraid, Alone
A soldier?s pride
To a country devout
That chews him up and spits him out
Invisible Son, Invisible Son??.
Jerry woke up with a bottle
Last shot ringing in his head
His eyes are tired, this ground is cold
Awake, Alive, Afraid, Alone
There?s nothing left
No helping hands
Can?t you see me, I?m right here
Awake, Alive, Afraid, Alone, Afraid, Alone, I?m coming home?.
What have I become?..
I look in mirror and all I see
Is a ghost of a man staring back at me?
Last shot ringing in his head, last shot ringing in his head, Last shot??
