We arrive and are blinded   by twisted rubble and piercing light   Screaming sounds of the sirens   Rip through the air on this sleepless night      Take this boy and remind him   Just how fragile his un-sewn life   His daily dose of destruction   Sleeps with his gun, his surrogate wife      Mother fears the door   Baby's off at war   just like dad before   Left soulless      Promised there's an end   Just around the bend   Lost another friend   Left soulless      Soulless ghost in the air   Helpless feeling of despair   Broken body, scarred mind   They're soulless      Men, women and children   Huddle together or stand and fight   Enemies or our allies   Can't tell the difference, he's blind with fright      He reads letters from mother   Shares photographs from another life   Falling to friendly fire   Today was this heroes final fight      Mother fears the door   Baby's off at war   just like dad before   Left soulless      Promised there's an end   Just around the bend   Lost another friend   Left soulless      Soulless ghost in the air   Helpless feeling of despair   Broken body, scarred mind   They're soulless      Left shameless   Left nameless   Left faithless   Left soulless      Soulless ghost in the air   Helpless feeling of despair   Broken body, scarred mind   They're soulless      Soulless ghost in the air   Helpless feeling of despair   Broken body, scarred mind   They're soulless      Left sightless   Left mindless   Left heartless   Left hopeless      Gone insane, endless pain   Enter the room to find there's no one left   Guiltless time, poisoned mind   Mocking clocks they chime. You're in traction   Wasted days, again betrayed   A once honored hero now stains the mattress   No one calls, blood stained walls   Mother needle holds you to her breast   Skin and bones   Your life is left soulless
