Fallen Hero

Guns lay silent, you are alive
The war is over, friends left behind
Back home, you are free
Hero, medals received

Safe in your fortress again you are under siege

Battle rages, in your head
Under attack, vivid memories
Haunted, by the past
Nightmares, keep coming back
Scarred for life and now fighting the battle within

Roadside bomb blast, lost both legs
Combat flashbacks, the war within
Distant, you have changed
Torment, silent screams

Forgotten hero, deserted by the state
Prisoner of war, never to be free
Torture, relive the pain
Dreaming, to live once again

Fighting the battle forever inside of your head
