Where Did You Go?

I know where you went to, but where did you go?

I guess if you told me, i'd still never know

Your nightmares continue, they'll always remain 

And although you're not bleeding, you still feel the pain

Who's war did you fight in? I'm really not sure

Did you honestly feel this was worth fighting for?

The enemy out there, were so much like you

They trembled inside much the same as you do

The bullets that dodged you, all carried your name

But the finger on trigger was not one of blame

Your government called you, and you chose to run 

No sane man would jump, and then pick up a gun 

In fields you remain, in the pits full of mud

You're drenched to the skin from the enemies blood 

No matter how hard you might scrub it away 

It will always return by the end of the day 

The war is now over, but never for you

You still clean the mud from the soles of your shoe

And while you lay dreaming, beware of the night 

As you'll never escape from the enemies sight

The scars that you carry, like scores on the skin 

Are maps from the battles you never did win 

This killing and dying makes no sense to me

A man that can kill he will never be free

I know where you went to, but where did you go?

I guess if you told me, i'd still never know

As war is for heroes who never return 

And it's something i don't have the courage to learn
