"Wounded Soldier" lyrics

"Wounded Soldier"

Evil knows
It will spread like a chain reaction
To be shown
The blood stains on the grass will still grow

And I dream violence
Hear a hive of a million wings above me
I run hopelessly
Run aground like I'm burrowing
Hug my knees, now I made my peace

The blood stains the final reaction
Wounded soul, wounded soldier

And I dream violence
Hear a hive of a million wings
Dogging me, I run hopelessly
Run aground like I'm burrowing
Hug my knees
Now I find my peace

So this is how it's shown
Wish I'd never saw it
'Cause that man, his body's out there
It's buried in the snow
If I could just say goodbye to somebody
To ease their suffering
I'd say, "Hold tight, good buddy"
I'd say, "We're grateful souls"

And I dream violence
Hear a hive of million wings
Haunting me, I run hopelessly
Run aground like I'm burrowing
Hug my knees, now I made my peace

This is not a show
This is how it goes
That man, his body's out there
Buried in the snow
Made it to me, though
Little body carried right here
Back into my soul

This is how it goes
That man, his body's out there
His mother'll never know
His father'll never find it
It's buried in the snow
This is how it goes
This is not a show
That man, his body's out there
His brother'll never know

This is how it goes
Back into my soul
Man, his body's out there
His son will never know
