In Sleep There Is Peace

Father
Please hold my hand, as the night comes
Darkness
It's all I understand, I can't escape
Bleeding
My wounds run deep, my time will come
Healing
There is no time to heal, I'm falling asleep

In the trenches where shadows creep
A lonely boy in silence he weeps
In the mud, where dreams decay
No life, in the games we play
He clutches the earth, as darkness takes hold
Once vibrant, now silent and cold
A hero forged from pain
A heart now shattered, lost in the rain

So hold my hand as I face the end
A victim of war, I'll no longer pretend
At the funeral, call my name
My spirit is torn, but will return again

Silence
I call for thee, I will find my way
Brightness
My light will fade, darkness is near
Shadows
From the past I see, I am filled with fear
Father
Please hold my hand, as the night comes

My body broken, my spirit torn asunder
A puppet of grief, caught in the thunder
Lost in the chaos, a victim of strife
Forgotten, I'm an echo of life

So hold my hand as I face the end
A victim of war, I'll no longer pretend
At the funeral, call my name
My spirit is torn, but will return again

So hold my hand as I face the end
A victim of war, I'll no longer pretend
At the funeral, call my name
My spirit is torn, but will return again

So hold my hand as I face the end
A soldier in silence, I don't understand
At the funeral, call my name
Together we embrace, eternal game
