The blood that was spilled in the heartache before
I want you to know now you're gonna take me with you
'Cause you, you melted the steel walls and tore down the barbed wire
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
To you this has no meaning the armistice laid down
And now you're leaving there's nothing I can do
'Cause you, you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire
And they sing your song of rescue to my tattered worn out shell
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
Oh now three on a match is suicide in the foxhole of my mind
And way off in the distance the air raid sirens whine
With my camouflage and armor a cold heart and grease paint
I want you to know you're gonna take me with you
Till you melted the steel walls, tore down the barbed wire
And now you're leaving there's nothing I can do
Filled in the trenches, demanded a cease fire
The armies are all quiet and the guns don't make a sound
I want you to know you're gonna take me with you
Well it seems I've been a soldier heaven knows I've been no saint
And now you're leaving there's nothing I can do
You drag me to your safety from this my front line hell
Left road maps of scars that I never, never could ignore
