Come on home, son
Part from where you are
There’s nothing left to you to be there for
Faithful soldier, you made your mark by far
Time has come, step out of the spot
We’ll find you a place where the heroes of war
Take up the lives they used to lead before
We’ll respect you
We’ll perfect you
We’ll protect you
For nothing
We’ll neglect you
We’ll deject you
We’ll reject you
For nothing
Dreadful memories haunt me all the time
How fierce we were in the fields of battle
Stand up straight, soldier, this is not a crime
Don’t be afraid, you must carry on
The peacemaking warrior serving his country
It could be the end if you opened your eyes
And turned to disagree
We’ll respect you (you promised to help me)
We’ll perfect you (a breach of faith)
We’ll protect you for nothing
(cause these days I’m nothing to you)
We’ll neglect you (I was a fool to believe you)
We’ll deject you (why did you lie?)
We’ll reject you for nothing
The damages I saw spread chaos in my dreams
When I can’t tell right from wrong, my actions go to the extremes
Every now and then I tend to disappear
I lock the world away, I feel there’s no room for me here
I used to be the guy with strength enough for two
Affectionate and kind, whatever you might ask I would do
Now I’m feeling odd, no spark of life, no gun
The fight against injustice only just begun
You promised to help me
But why did you lie?
You’ll respect me, you’ll protect me for nothing
We’ll respect you (I was a fool to believe you)
We’ll perfect you (A breach of faith)
We’ll protect you for nothing (I'm nothing to you)
We’ll neglect you (I was a fool to believe you)
We’ll deject you (A breach of faith)
We’ll reject you for nothing
Every now and then I tend to disappear
I lock the world away, I feel there’s no room for me here
Long forgotten vet, a soldier with no gun
The fight against injustice only just begun
