Battle Scars

[Verse]
Rivers of blood flow behind eyes shut tight
Thunder in the night can't shake off the fright
Haunted by ghosts crawling in the dark
Lost in the trench can't find the spark
[Verse 2]
Voices of comrades echo through the haze
Desperate screams trapped in a daze
Marching alone on a path of pain
Fighting old wars in the cold rain
[Chorus]
Battle scars deep in the soul
Memories take the heavy toll
A hero's heart now hollow and cold
Where's the peace I used to hold
[Verse 3]
Eyes wide open but the night's still black
Hearts pounding hard pushing the attack
The enemy's face is his own on the wall
Can't escape it so he lets himself fall
[Verse 4]
Once a soldier strong brave and proud
Now a shadow wears his shroud
Clinging to medals that rust away
Every nightmare eats another day
[Bridge]
Dreams of silence shatter with the dawn
Lost in battles never drawn
A mind bruised and broken
Another heart forsaken
