Ballad Of A Boy Soldier

 
Come find me in the morning
when the battle is done
for i will be dead
no matter which side has won

Was it the night
that stole the light from my eyes?
or simply mans nature
that the boy in us must die

There are no winners in war
this I know to be true
standing victorious
but still losing you

The fight it was simple
and fair, well that’s hard to say
only the strongest survive
to build a new day

I won’t be amongst them
for dead I will be
and the man that stands beside you
will be the man that killed me
