about

This song finds a lot of it's inspiration from my Grandfather who fought in WWII and famously screamed in his sleep ever after. I've often imagined how frail the concept of lasting peace might seem to a man like him.

lyrics

The war has dimmed all light...forever... your eyes can't trust clear skies
The blue haunts your mood...under...the wavy hues of the moon
The young kids in their play...could never..
Think that light could change, on their living stage

While the snow's falling slowly on your burning heart
Music

In your dream you don't move, you're blending on the hill
Still hoping you could choose, to not...kill

But all that blows away
When guns start to spray
You just save your childhood memories
It's yours or your enemies

The sun is in the dark sky, and the moon is in an ocean blue...

Old soldier your task goes amiss, when we think there is

A peace always strong
A people never wrong
While the snow's falling slowly on your burning heart
