Soldier Song

Land that was breached
It was not long ago
So as to teach
How middles do grow

Who knows what is probably
What is warranty indeed
Charging reason ever so fatherly
He claims that you agree

The outer circuit is clenching for space
As the lines are blurred and close to erased
Hand a hymn to every song
Daughter, man, and wife
A soaked and burning lullaby

Did you strike him voluntarily?
Were you inhaled by a draft?
Were you faced by all that ceased to be
As you shipped him out to past?
Conducted by an order sent
And to be carried on
Where is left to make amends?
The recipient is gone

A flick of the wrist
The two must be nigh
But the fingers kissed
As fall is combined
Blameless is the child who is ruled
By parent's swift command
Battered with a ruling hand

Did you strike him voluntarily?
Were you inhaled by a draft?
Were you faced by all that ceased to be
As you shipped him out to past?
Conducted by an order sent
And to be carried home
Where is left to make amends?
The recipient is gone
The recipient is gone
