DESCRIPTION:
He walks through the town
Bent and stooped over
Though in his twenties
He seems much, much older
He walks with a frown
And with burdened shoulders
Hes aged a decade though been gone for a year

Because for all hes been through
And all he has seen
Echoes will pierce the nights
And interrupt his dreams.
Whispers of warriors,
Cries of the dead,
Cries screaming and screaming,
Cries that have said:

Cries
For all those whove fallen
Cries
For all those whove died
Cries
For all those whove risked for us
Cries
For all those alive

Cries
For the burdens on our shoulders
Cries
For the angered and torn
Cries
Against those who loath us
Cries
Cries asking why

He walks through the town
Houses seem the same
Its so weird to be back
When only he as so changed.
He left as a boy
And came back a man
Others lived daily lives
While he fought for his land.

Because for all hes been through
And all he has seen
Echoes will pierce the nights
And interrupt his dreams.

Against those who loath us
Cries
Cries asking why

He walks to his house,
Heart pounding with doubt
Will she have lost hope at hearing the death count?
He opens on the door,
His wifes face is worn
And confused at seeing a familiar face so changed

In his nights
Sleep is still hard
He tosses and turns, tosses and turns
He still smells the blood, he still feels the fear
The grime, the dust, the cries and the tears

Because for all hes been through
And all he has seen
Echoes will pierce the nights
And interrupt his dreams.
