dreams of a soldier.

as our souls lay sleeping,
as our heart rest,
The skies unfold for us.
lay down your weapon, sweet child,
and close your eyes,
because the soldiers and the armies
are innocent tonight.

i never wanted,
i never wanted you to go.

there's a voice inside you
that rings through your callused skin and cold bone,
up through the uncut blades of grass,
underneath the blazen feet of God's only son.
this war you've almost died for
has already been won.

i just want to survive with you in my arms.
with you in my arms, i just want to survive.

uneven lips, quiet down.
let your fists unravel and relax.
miscarried love will be reborn.
when we sleep,the devil's hands are tied.

this war we've been bleeding for
has already been won.
