Story Behind the Song
What happens to a man returning from the war? Interesting topic....
Lyrics
One blackened sky, Can't see the rain
Well I am home, It's been so long now
Can't count my scars, One rusted hand
Am I the same, Can you remeber
Chorus:
I see the writings on the wall
Can't take the meanings of the words
There's nothing left for me to say
Am I a hero or a beast
The haunting blood still stains my soul
Makes me wonder why a war hero never dies
Makes me wonder why a war hero never dies
I got my gun to take my stand
I'm not alone, we are the soldiers
Right or wrong, who makes the difference
They took my pride, the war is over
[Chorus]
I left my unit, I left the field
I must disarm
Coming home now
I left my conscience, I left the war
To live in peace
Coming home now
I see the rain, can't see the sun now
Am I home, it's been so long now
One thousand scars, one empty hand
Am I the same, Can you remember
[Chorus]
