Sometimes gunfire's brighter than the sunshinenSometimes a child's scream influences every dreamnSometimes we fool ourselves into thinkin' we've moved onnBut no way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seennnNo way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seennNo way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seennNo way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seennNo way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seennnIt's now twenty-five years later, he's on the brink of fourty-threenStill searchin' for sanity, surveyin' the floor of his distorted seanHe remembers high-school friends jokin' about the warnNever knew what Mom was cryin' fornnThe other piece that shines in his mindnIs the divine first-love soul-mate beauty brown-eyed queen he left behindnHe remembers holdin' her tight, watchin' the sunset at shorenNever knew what she was cryin' fornnHe got the letter in his mail by the middle of his summernWouldn't have had to go if it wasn't for his new born brothernHe was barely eighteen, murdering people even youngernAnd he still ducks and covers every time he hears the thundernnHe still hears the screams, smells the flesh, tastes the deathnSees the blood, feels the pain What's to gain?nNothing's left but the slug that remains in his right pathnThe bullet laughs every time he cries, and it drives him madnnTrying to sleep, but the visions give him a cold sweatnThe war's been over for two decades, but he still hasn't been home yetnEveryday he wakes and strains to repress his guiltnAnd forget the horror, the violence, the kill-or-be-killednnFists are always clenched, teeth are always grindin'nReal life is lost, and in a bottle he tries to find itnIt's not fair, he mumbles through a nightmarenOnly in the fight for two years, and wound up spendin' his whole life therennHe was face to face with the devil for the welfare of his countrynNow he's strainin' to live, but his conscience won't let himnIt ain't flashbacks, you have to understand the tragedy, seenHe left the war, but the war never left him, seenHe left the war, but the war never left him, seenHe left the war, but the war never left him, seenHe left the war, but the war never left him, seenHe left the warnnIt's now twenty-five years later, he's on the edge of a park benchnHe's asked God for help, but found his source non-existentnHe sits in the shadows, 'cause his sun burns no morenNow he knows what Mom was cryin' fornnI used to watch old man in the park, the sight slowly drove rightnthrough my heartnWishin' I could help, but not knowin' where to startnI'd walk away, curse the world, gush some love, and curse some morenNow you know who I've been cryin' fornnHe threw his medals in the river, but they sunk alonenPut shades on his eyes, to hide him from the war zone in the skynHe tried to slit his wrists about a month agonBut he's seen so much death, he's scared to life of suicidennIf there was some way to break him out of this penitentiarynGulps get bigger and figures it'll chase away his memoriesnBut the dreams only worsen, the scenes almost burst innHe recalls how training took away his right to be a personnnPut a gun in his hand, left him to die with the landnThe plan was the murder of mannPoliticians have a dispute, decide to send in troopsnBut the truth is, they just don't understandnnNow he's runnin' out of time, and runnin' out of energynBut till the last day, he'll be fighting for the murder of his memoriesnAnd although he never got rid of his dog-tagsnHe still wishes they'd have sent his parents and american flag (instead of him)nnHe was face to face with the devil for the welfare of his countrynNow he's strainin' to live, but his conscience won't let himnIt ain't flashbacks, you have to understand the tragedy, seenHe left the war, but the war never left him, seenHe left the war, but the war never left him, seenHe left the war, but the war never left him, seenHe left the war, but the war never left him, seenHe left the warnnSometimes gunfire's brighter than the sunshinenSometimes a child's scream influences every dreamnSometimes we fool ourselves into thinkin' we've moved onnBut no way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seennnNo way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seennNo way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seennNo way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seennNo way, no how, do we ever forget what we've seen
