Deserter

Help me light the way for the brothers we have lost

Their silence on the pain is still replayed

For all that we are not

Across the plains of everything

I see wreckage standing where revival used to be

No sadder sight than the work their hands abandoned

Leaving vacant towers to crumble in the sand

Fear brings out the worst in men

They go where there is nothing but destruction

And they thrive in it

Fear brings out the worst in men

They turn away from anything their prideful heart resists

Light a candle for the lost

The ones who wander in the dark

Seeking help from helpless hearts

Light a candle for the lost

I still remember, I still remember who you are

(I still remember who you are)

Help me light the way for the brothers we have lost

Their silence on the pain is still replayed

For all that we are not

I walk the same path my brothers once began

But it's much lonelier tonight than it was back then

Wearied by the storms and subtle songs of discontent

I watched heroes fall along the way

Where angels fear to tread

Deserter, your truth is left unsaid

Deserter, there's a war, there's a war inside your head

Deserter, I remember you

There was a dream in your heart, I could see from the start, and it never came true

Deserter, I remember you

I see the pain in your eyes and the fear that you hide from the brothers you once knew

So light a candle for the lost

The ones who wander in the dark

Seeking help from helpless hearts

Light a candle for the lost

The ones who wander in the dark

Seeking help from helpless hearts

Light a candle for the lost

I still remember, I still remember

(I still remember, I still remember, I still remember...)
