Lone Soldier

im the lone soldier walking down the road
i am the harper that makes up the ode
i am the mother who cries every night
because of my son who's off in the fight

i have no flag im that loyal to
just dreary rags for my shirt and my shoe
i got no country cause im a lone walker
yeah im the first original wanderer

i fight no war cause it's full of regret
i've got the power and strength to reject
i can end a life and start all over again
this is my purpose as nobody's friend

im the lone soldier walking down the road
i am the lover braving the cold
i am the child who cries every night
because of my father who died in the fight

i have no gun to fire at you
just my walking stick of simple wood
i got no possessions i'm a rich man
i dont need plastic or an old tin can

i lost my sword when i took a vow
that i'd never lose my happiness now
exiled forever away from human life
its better to get away from anger and strife

im the lone soldier walking down the road
walking aimlessly cause i've got no abode
im the crying soldier who does this every night
because of the friends i lost in the fight

i've had no sleep since the fight was done
even though i was on the side that won
you'll never forget the choir of the shells
amidst rapid gun fire, the bells of hell

im the lone soldier walking down the road
i've got no life to call my own
even when the fight's done and over
it'll never be gone because im the lone soldier
