Shallow Green - The Soldier

Just a young boy
Painting pictures
He cannot imagine
Battlefields of the earth
And as he grows older
Tasked the burden of a father
When will the people learn
To love one another?
And he's running
To the mountain tops of his soul
And he's flying higher
On the wings of eagles
And as the soldier goes
Down this cold and empty road
Running from the motherland
Where the truth be told
And as he weighs his options
Fighting for paradise
When will the soldier
Pay his sacrifice?
And he's still running
So his spirit will never die
And he's flying higher
On the blood of the night
And I care
And I care
And I care, care, care
Why do men make weapons with their hands?
For money
For power
For the land
When did this world become so cold?
And as the old man
Draws his last breath
He now forever held
In his sudden death
