Like the scar of age
Broken by the burden of his youth
She saw him laying at the end of my gun
And thirsty for the distant river
The war is still raging inside of me
As I reveal my shame to you
Hungry for life
I wear it like a tattoo
And he spoke of his dreams
And the way the mountains looked
The light shot diamonds from his eyes
I still feel the chill
Written all over my face
I wear it like a tattoo
Fourteen years he said
I couldn't look into the sun
I remember his hands
And thirsty for the distant river
Hungry for life
Broken by the burden
