verse
Marching alone where I don't belong
Tapping along in the dark before the dawn, nothing is wrong ya 'hear?
Abandon the sound of the captain's call
Grabbing my gear as I jump the wall before nightfall is here
I've crossed the line of the great divide
I sneak past land mines, watch them with each stride
Stumbled upon to the battleground
I search and look for the fight but a white flag's all I found out here
I know, I know you said you've overcome but I think it's time I joined the fight
verse
Caught in the snare of the rival's jaws
Digging in deep as it rears it's vicious claws, I guess my fight is here
What have I done? I'm trapped and all alone. I'm bleeding out and fading quick.
Footsteps draw near (could this be it?) Is my death now here (could this be it?)
Who's this that's come for me in this dying and desperate state?
verse
Rough hands are placed upon me, I'm far too weak to fight and break myself free
I was chasing apparitions, what's wrong with my volition?
Just as my body floated, I dread and fear what
Is this stranger's motives? What have I done?
I opened up my eyes to see the strange bore a dear old face.
And water filled my eyes it was my captain that I had disgraced
I turned to look away in shame, but in tender words you called my name
"See I bear the marks that fought the war!"
