2am: Lost souls [lyrics]

2am

Lost souls

He went away to war, in the middle of the night

His daddy said "son it will be alright"

Fighting for your country in another man's land

Don't try and be a hero do you understand

Even in his darkest moments he found

The strength to pull him through

Even with the bullets flying all around

He remained one of the few

Through the smoke, he saw a girl

Her face so young, her body frail

In her eyes he saw a sign

That cut straight through his heartline

CHORUS

It's a sad situation it's tearing me apart

Please don't leave me hanging on a heartline

All the alienation, I felt it from the start

Keeps me looking to my heartline

Even with the heroes welcome at the end

He felt no pride at all

Even when his father said "son I'm proud"

His joy was all pretend

In his dreams she haunts him still

Her face so innocent he had to kill

Orders are orders and I have mine

But it still cuts through my heartline

CHORUS

Just a lonely boy in a strange land

Just a lonely boy many miles from home

Just a lonely girl in a mad world

Lost souls very much alone, very much alone

Very much alone
