Military Man

Military man got his armor on
Molten machine got his loaded gun
Paying his dues on a foreign shore
Just another day playing games of war

For this is the end of the military man

Military man got his demons laughing, pushing him over the sanity brink
Horizons changing, train derailing, his iron ships begun to sink

Saw the light from the Man above
His heart pierced by a sword of love

Considering chances in a nuclear zone
Hard to live life beneath the battle’s drone
Silver syringe caught his victim napping
Slapping him ‘round a broken life on loan
He caught sight of the future shock
Defenses crushed beneath the Risen Rock

No more doing time
He tasted the new wine
No more reason to fight
No more military man
