lyrics

Soldier, the battle is over. The kings that commanded you all sleep in the dirt. The bloodshed’s been over for a century, and there can be no victory, so what’s persistence worth? But still you fight endlessly. It’s time to let your mind follow your body now, desert this army now and leave this old war behind. Your grip on your weapon is unbreakable, cuz everyone that tries just clutches cold air. Remember when all you wanted was just to go back home? Well just like you wait to hear that a victor’s been declared, a family that loves you is still waiting for you there. It’s time to let your mind follow your body now, desert this army now and leave this old war behind. It’s time to let your mind forgive your enemies, forget the suffering and make peace with the darkness of your past.
