• The rain falls softly on my shoulder
    Every drop a touch of pain
    I am singing a song of an empty body
    A body without a soul

    I must sing this song of the Unforgiven
    The song of many more

    So we send our soldiers out in to the war
    The lives taken from forever more
    It hurts so much we cannot help it
    I wait here alone
    I do not understand
    Why you sit there
    Dead

    I wish I were you
    I could be free
    I wouldn’t hurt
    And I wouldn’t bleed

    Now I understand
    Why we respect you
    I thought it was because you were you
    Now I know
    And now I see

    I didn’t stop it
    I didn’t help
    I was too scared
    And had no hope

    The rain is still falling
    And yet I can’t see it
    I think I am dead

    The last thing I knew
    Was that I was standing
    In a war
    That wasn’t ending

    Is someone proud?
    Is someone listening?

    You murdered me
    And my family

    My soul now lingers
    And I cannot hurt
    But I remember
    I cannot forget
    This is just a prologue to how I died
