lyrics

[son]
I have lost all sense of time
Lie awake as sunset prepares the night
Sent letters home, with no return
This place has left me alone

I fear a change
Yet the seasons, they stay the same
Cold inside, I breath
Freezing alone, not afraid..

[father]
I gave my son a gun, and pushed him out the door
I gave my only son a gun, and sent him off to war.

[son]
Nature makes its way to life
I see morning pierce it's way through night
Gunfire at my feet, I fear for my life
I know you don't believe, but I chose to be here

No return call home
No life left to live
I will die in this place
Alone

I left letters under my bed
Hoping it would replace the memories in your head
Remember me the way I was, not the way I want you to forget.

[father]
My sorrow will never end
And my life may never change
But I know you're in a better place

I gave my son a gun, and pushed him out the door
I gave my only son a gun, and sent him off to war.
