This Good Soldier

This good soldier’s in a war
A war that is not his to fight
And he don’t want to anymore.

This good soldier’s lost what’s right
Trapped in war, nowhere to go
Oh, listen to his painful plight!

This good soldier’s scars do show
Of past wounds that haunt his soul
From battlefields since unfit to sow.

This good soldier plays his role
From his fate he cannot run
But these long years did take their toll.

This good soldier’s finally done
No more of war, he closed the door,
On the field he buried his gun.

From Dawn to Darkness

Look to the horizon!
The light of Dawn has finally come!
Praise be to the light that saves us!
Rejoice in its warmth!
Let the light wash over you!
And cure you of all your woes!

What is this?
Our light again dims?
But where was our day?
Oh light of Dawn, why now have you forsaken us?
Have we done wrong in your eyes?
How can we again find your favor?

Again in Darkness we are…
Forsaken by our light…
We stand alone against this threat…
Our hope went away with the light…
Tomorrow will never come…
All we have is this dreaded eternal night…
