"Inspired by my neighbor who came home from Vietnam and was really messed up. I see the soldiers coming home from iraq in the same way today".

Lost his step again
he finally found his moments rest
Memories, wars, regrets
haunted to the bone

Waking up to a bad dream
voices speak it's deafening
Wonders how he got to be
so far from home

Memories shattered and broken
Memories battered awoken

Best run down a Baghdad street than stand so close to these rivers deep
'lest you find you have no need
for tomorrows sun

In a field face down
one hole to his bloody crown
By the neighbors boy was found by a flag and a vengeful gun

Memories shattered and broken
Memories battered awoken

I want to believe in life after life
I want too, believe in life after life after life

Memories shattered and broken
Memories shattered and broken
Memories battered awoken
