Emerald Soldier

They broke your colors burned your name from every wall Medals gathering dust

in a box down the hall still in your shoulders but your hands

still shake at night Every promise you protected out of mind

out of sight out of sight when the over but the wound stays open

wide when the flags stop flying and you got nowhere to

hide when the world casts you out when your lover takes your heart

when your family fades away like smoke in the dark when there's no

place left for you old soldier out of time lift your eyes don't turn away
