Soldier Of Mine

from The Blacksmith Soul by Balla Dear

/

lyrics

You hid yourself in long wet grass, and lay upon on the moss
That hoary crib held no reprieve, in the eye of your great loss
Sheltered in a hollow tree you hide your heart bound up iniquity
The jagged bark will skin your knee, and betray your villiany

Peering out by a forlorn creek, the rocks cry out from thirst
Waterless they make their stand, you feign your virtue worse
You lost your way on the battleground, with a bloodied bayonet
You yield your hand and broken heart, to no grand fellowship

"O fallen soldier of mine!
I judge that you're seeing blind
And I know that you've crossed a line
But you can come right back again!
There is forgiveness in the wind!"

"O fallen soldier of mine!
I pray you will surely arise!
My brother lay down your spear
Alas I will wipe your tear!"
These are the words I long to hear!
