Was it a dream? Is this the only evidence that proves it A photograph of you and I? A photograph of you and I Your defenses were on high Your walls built deep inside Yeah, I'm a selfish bastard But at least I'm not alone My intentions never change

Back to the front Soldier boy, made of clay Now an empty shell Twenty one, only son But he served us well Bred to kill, not to care Do just as we say Finished here, greetings death He's yours to take away

I know you're wondering when Someday, somehow I'm gonna make it alright but not right now (You're the only one who knows that) Nothing's wrong just as long as you know that someday I will How the hell'd we wind up like this Why weren't we able To see the
