	Sometimes gunfire's brighter than the sunshine
	Sometimes a child's scream influences every dream
	Sometimes we fool ourselves into thinkin' we've moved on
	But no way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
	No way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
	No way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
	No way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
	No way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
	It's now twenty-five years later, he's on the brink of fourty-three
	Still searchin' for sanity, surveyin' the floor of his distorted sea
	He remembers high-school friends jokin' about the war
	Never knew what Mom was cryin' for
	The other piece that shines in his mind
	Is the divine first-love soul-mate beauty brown-eyed queen he left behind
	He remembers holdin' her tight, watchin' the sunset at shore
	Never knew what she was cryin' for
	He got the letter in his mail by the middle of his summer
	Wouldn't have had to go if it wasn't for his new born brother
	He was barely eighteen, murdering people even younger
	And he still ducks and covers every time he hears the thunder
	He still hears the screams, smells the flesh, tastes the death
	Sees the blood, feels the pain What's to gain?
	Nothing's left but the slug that remains in his right path
	The bullet laughs every time he cries, and it drives him mad
	Trying to sleep, but the visions give him a cold sweat
	The war's been over for two decades, but he still hasn't been home yet
	Everyday he wakes and strains to repress his guilt
	And forget the horror, the violence, the kill-or-be-killed
	Fists are always clenched, teeth are always grindin'
	Real life is lost, and in a bottle he tries to find it
	"It's not fair", he mumbles through a nightmare
	Only in the fight for two years, and wound up spendin' his whole life there
	He was face to face with the devil for the "welfare" of his country
	Now he's strainin' to live, but his conscience won't let him
	It ain't flashbacks, you have to understand the tragedy, see
	He left the war, but the war never left him, see
	He left the war, but the war never left him, see
	He left the war, but the war never left him, see
	He left the war, but the war never left him, see
	He left the war
	It's now twenty-five years later, he's on the edge of a park bench
	He's asked God for help, but found his source non-existent
	He sits in the shadows, 'cause his sun burns no more
	Now he knows what Mom was cryin' for
	I used to watch old man in the park, the sight slowly drove right
	Through my heart
	Wishin' I could help, but not knowin' where to start
	I'd walk away, curse the world, gush some love, and curse some more
	Now you know who I've been cryin' for
	He threw his medals in the river, but they sunk alone
	Put shades on his eyes, to hide him from the war zone in the sky
	He tried to slit his wrists about a month ago
	But he's seen so much death, he's scared to life of suicide
	If there was some way to break him out of this penitentiary
	Gulps get bigger and figures it'll chase away his memories
	But the dreams only worsen, the scenes almost burst in
	He recalls how training took away his right to be a person
	Put a gun in his hand, left him to die with the land
	The plan was the murder of man
	Politicians have a dispute, decide to send in troops
	But the truth is, they just don't understand
	Now he's runnin' out of time, and runnin' out of energy
	But till the last day, he'll be fighting for the murder of his memories
	And although he never got rid of his dog-tags
	He still wishes they'd have sent his parents and american flag (instead of him)
	He was face to face with the devil for the "welfare" of his country
	Now he's strainin' to live, but his conscience won't let him
	It ain't flashbacks, you have to understand the tragedy, see
	He left the war, but the war never left him, see
	He left the war, but the war never left him, see
	He left the war, but the war never left him, see
	He left the war, but the war never left him, see
	He left the war
	Sometimes gunfire's brighter than the sunshine
	Sometimes a child's scream influences every dream
	Sometimes we fool ourselves into thinkin' we've moved on
	But no way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
	No way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
	No way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
	No way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
	No way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
