Broken bodies, Battered Souls

Broken bodies and battered souls

Some young, many very old

Fought for their country to give us freedom 

Fought for their country to give us peace

Unable to escape the fight looking for some release

Alcohol and drugs to make demons disappear

Night after night reliving those fears

Broken bodies and battered souls

Some young, many very old

More and more pills to ease their pain

They went to war and were never the same

Bombs exploding, fight after fight

Many times afraid to sleep at night

They went to war, their friends never came home

In a foreign place they died alone

Broken bodies and battered souls
