I lost my English soul
pulling out the corpses
sheltering in the trenches again
Crying for remorse

I laid my arms down
Walked away in a trance
There's parts of me laid out
All over France

So I took my last waltz
Got caught up in the wire
Wrote a letter for my love
As I hid from the fire

An old soldier carried me
Away to the coast
Bathed my wounds in the sea
I'm in the hands of a ghost
I'm in the hands of a ghost

And the boats came on in
I tried to run away
Ao I got taken high by the throat
In the burning light of day

Set down with the iron punch
So broken & alone
I left my blood on the beach
For the tide to take me home

See my girl she gave up
She had taken me for dead
She forgot all her promises
And everything she said

Living in the darkest dream
I rose up in the cold
These wounds that I have outside
Are two years old
See these wounds that I have outside
Are two years old

Living by the past
Living by the mile
I took the same walk down
That I did as a child

The flags flew full mast
Unaware of the fate
No one saw me walk down
At my very last parade

So thoughts turn into dust
So I headed for the mount
I strayed off the path
Waiting for the calm

Living in the darkest dream
So broken and alone
This pain that I have inside is two years old
These scars that I have inside are more than two years old
This pain that I have inside is more than two years old
This scar that I wear inside are more than two years old

It's more than two years old
It's more than two years old
It's more than two years old
It's more than two years old
It's more than two years old
