Loyal Soldier Lyrics

I'm coming home

It's been years since the war

But wars are never won

The generals all are gone

But the battle carries on

Now I don't talk

About the horrors I've seen

Because these hands aren't clean

And what I've done to keep you safe

While thieves were at the gate

How can I retire my loyal soldier

When brothers fell at my shoulder?

How can I retire my loyal soldier

You know i'm getting older?

It's peace time

But all the skills I have learned

They only frighten her

What purpose do I serve?

The body remembers

How can I retire my loyal soldier

When brothers fell at my shoulder?

How can I retire my loyal soldier

You know i'm getting older?

Too late to start

Too soon to end

A hardened scar

On tender skin

To where you are

From where you've been

You've come so far

So come on in
