The night sky is as bright as the morning
As the missiles fly unending through the night
He's hiding in a bunker, he just turned twenty one
He closes his eyes against the blinding light..
The others didn't make it from the wreckage
He sees the arms and legs of friends' astrew
He prays to the God of his father's -to get him through this night
He prays for the strength to make it through..
Love the soldier, curse the war
Though you may not know just what they're fighting for
They defend the rights of others, they've never met before
Love the soldier, curse the war.
He's lying in the bedroom of his childhood
His time abroad has finally reached his end
He fights to close his eyes and get the sleep that he's craving
But the visions of the war just don't end..
Love the soldier, curse the war
Though you may not know just what their fighting for
They defend the rights of others, they've never met before
Love the soldier, curse the war.
His mother found him in the morning mist
Lying with his rifle by his side
She knows he's in a better place, but she just can't resist
Cursing the war that caused his innocence to hide..
Love the soldier, curse the war
Though you may not know just what they're fighting for
They defend the rights of others, they've never met before
Love the soldier, curse the war,
Love the soldier... curse the war.

"Being a veteran it is difficult sometimes to reconcile being a soldier with being against war. We sometimes assume that the soldier is a warmonger and do not realize the true impact of the war on the young men we send in the madness.."
