Been away a long time 
Come home to ruination 
Smoke swirls in blue sky 
The mourning of a nation 

Stick around if I dare 
Or move out to the country 
But living in the sticks won't 
Save you from what must be 

Keep me from the frontlines 
I'm no match for them 
Cowardice in wartime 
Hear my prayers 
Amen 

Go ahead and see 
What happens to me 

Keep me from the frontlines 
I'm no match for them 
Cowardice in wartime 
Hear my prayers 
Amen
