How I survived the massacre

I'll never understand

I fought as hard and strong as any other man

Yet I return as hero

And they return as ghosts

A heavy burden on the hearts of those they love the most

Take me

Back to the place where I used to be

Before I lost a lifetime

Show me

All of the love that I used to see

In the eyes of the lonely lover of mine

In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine

Now my reward is peace and quiet

Of both I'm never sure

The sound of silence scares me senseless

Ever since the war

I drink away my memories

Too vivid to be told

The hollow heart I carry now is no good for my soul

So take me

Back to the place where I used to be

Before I lived a lifetime

Show me

All of the love that I used to see

In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine, yes

In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine

Take me

Back to the place where I used to be

Before I lived a lifetime

Show me

All of the love that I used to see

In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine, yes

In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine

In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
