Out of the Warzone

Out of the Warzone

I scratched the sleep from my eyelashes
and through the haze saw lightning flashes.
Dreams of war and angel choirs,
oil cans and desert fires.

I hear commotions and things you shouldn’t hear.
Desperate emotions – you shouldn’t be here.

I feel your hands round my throat,
as I black out up I float,
the band strikes up for the final note –
my soul is floating away,
is floating away.

I reached for you and found a note,
the sheets were cold from what you wrote.
The battle raged across the sky –
“I love you” the battle cry.

I hear commotions and things you shouldn’t hear.
Desperate emotions – you shouldn’t be here.

I feel your hands round my throat,
as I black out up I float,
the band strikes up for the final note –
my soul is floating away,
is floating away out of the warzone.

I hear commotions and things you shouldn’t hear.
Desperate emotions – you shouldn’t be here.

I feel your hands round my throat,
as I black out up I float,
the band strikes up for the final note –
my soul is floating away,
is floating away,
is floating away,
is floating away out of the warzone.
