Am I Not A Soldier?

Now that we
Are but too fine
How do we keep
Our dream alive?

And when did we
Last make song?
And when will I next
Hear you sing along?

You are so close
But I could cry
I've not heard your voice
In such a long time

We build a wall
That deepens with sound
And now we're so hard
To get around

We're getting thinner
But we don't die
There's more to us together
Than meets their eyes

My name means defender
But I am no soldier
I don't lose a brother
As we two grow older

My name means defender
But I am not a soldier
Speak of us as brothers
As we two grow older

And now that we
Have sung our song
Who will be there
To put it on

To put it on
Am I so wrong?
Or turn it over
See what's goin' on

Who will be there
After we're gone
I know I'm here now
And others have marched on

My name means defender
But I am no soldier
I don't lose a brother
As we two grow older

My name means defender
Am I not a soldier?
Speak of us as brothers
And we two will grow older
