Soldiers Death Note

We talk, it ends in tears, I walk, to face my fears,
But it's been years since I've seen your face, I can't believe I've been stationed here
You're the one that gets me through this shit and still the best secret I've kept,
I know you wept when I left your arms, picked up my bags and I just left,
But here's some words of comfort and just a little something you never knew,
When I left you standing there watching, I wiped the tears from my eyes too
And when I feel like I won't make it back, I close eyes and I think of you,
I hold your memories close to my heart, but will be able to hold you soon.

I've lost some people close to me, I've held them bleeding in my grasp,
Time goes fast when life is good, but this is a test that I can't pass,
I write this as it rains on me, and the night time takes it's place,
I see all the courage less men, who keep the fear printed on their face,
I asked god to save these boys, and he listened to what I said.
This is a soldiers death note.
God took me instead.

Ryan, that is brilliant. You have serious amounts of lyrical talent.

 

Thanks, Kadaj. Usually after writing I read it the next day and I don't like it. But I think this is probably one of the best I've written.

 

Have you ever written a whole song? If not; you should definitely try to.

 

Never written a full song, I really only write when I think of something in the moment. I can't really make myself do it >.<

 

This.

Amazing lyrics.
