Soulless

We arrive and are blinded By twisted rubble and piercing light Screaming sounds of the sirens Rip through the air on this sleepless night Take this boy and remind him Just how fragile his unsewn life His daily dose of destruction Sleeps with his gun, his surrogate wife Mother fears the door Baby's off at war Just like dad before Left soulless Promised there's an end Just around the bend Lost another friend Left soulless Soulless ghost in the air Helpless feeling of despair Broken body, scarred mind They're soulless Men, women and children Huddle together or stand and fight Enemies or our allies Can't tell the difference, he's blind with fright He reads letters from mother Shares photographs from another life Falling to friendly fire Today was this hero's final fight Mother fears the door Baby's off at war Just like dad before Left soulless Promised there's an end Just around the bend Lost another friend Left soulless Soulless ghost in the air Helpless feeling of despair Broken body, scarred mind They're soulless Left shameless Left nameless Left faithless Left soulless Soulless ghost in the air Helpless feeling of despair Broken body, scarred mind They're soulless Soulless ghost in the air Helpless feeling of despair Broken body, scarred mind They're soulless Left sightless Left mindless Left heartless Left hopeless Gone insane, endless pain Enter the room to find there's no one left Guiltless time, poisoned mind Mocking clocks they chime, you're in traction Wasted days, again betrayed A once honored hero now stains the mattress No one calls, blood-stained walls Mother needle holds you to her breast Skin and bones Your life is left soulless
