Monazite - Old Soul Lyrics

When the dawn breaks
I've been awake
Since the days
We were at war

It was such a long time ago
But I still have wounds
From my fall

I have seen all the long stretches of the battlefield
Dead bodies as long the eye can see
We just want peace

Were will you lead them now
To their end
Or a worse fate

You don't want
You don't want war
I've been on the front line
While you've been in a safe house
Till you understand the truth
Don't send out your troops

Don't send this generation
In to a horror fest
I've heard the cries of the boys in the fields
What's their future
It seemed bleak

I didn't want to see them die
Watch all my brothers suffer
While I stood beside
And had to fight

The grief I know
Spread to every door
You couldn't want any more
I've been on the front line
While you've been in a safe house
Till you understand the truth
Don't send out your troops

Into the smoke of no man's land
Never to return to a life they could have had
My warning is like a grain of sand
Just a whisper in the desert
For our poor man
A display of who has the power in this land

All I say it would be wise
To shut down an imaginary prize
May they thrive not just survive
History reveals the bad ones will die

That's what I know
May the devil have mercy on your soul
I've been on the front line
While you've been in a safe house
Till you understand the truth
Don't send out your troops
