Two Years Old

I lost my British soul

Pulling out the corpse

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 on 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

And so their boats came on in

And I tried to run away

And I got taken high by the throat

In the burning light of day

And I was sent down by the iron punch

So broken and 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

And I'm living in the darkest dream

I rose up in the cold

And this scar that i wear outside

It's two years old

Living by the past

And living by the mile

I took the same walk down

That I did as a child

The flags flew full mast

Unaware of the fade

No one saw me walk down

At my very own parade

So watching thoughts turn into dust

'Cause I headed for the mount

I strayed off the path

Waiitng for the count

The shook those steel clad gates

And filled me up with cold

This scar that I wear inside is more

than two years old

These scars that I wear inside are more

than two years old

It's more than two years old
