Description

A song about war and its casualties.

The letter arrives on time
Father sheds a tear
Little sister drops her paperback
The clock strikes nine
Packer her things
Said her last goodbyes
Thoughts and prayers
Lasting sighs

Called away to war
What good she knows not for
But she's trying to fall...for what's right...for them all
Called away too poor
Can't afford to ignore that distant shore
Lost in a haze of indifference
Lost her phase of independence

She sends a letter on time
Mother hides her eyes
There's nothing left to say...now
The battle inside her
Is smothered by a sound
A blast of certainty
Her purpose found

A crimson sun dips below the horizon
Silence today, silence tonight
Chills run down our spine
Fill up the void with her kind
