This Is A Song About A Homeless Veteran
(INTRO)
[Verse]
Sleeping in alleyways no dreams under skies
Echoes of battles lost in the bloodshot eyes
Haunted by the ghosts of a long-forgotten fight
Shadows stalk the daylight prisoners of the night
(Interlude)

[Verse 2]
Fingers numb and shaking hands can't hold the light
Searching for a reason just another endless night
Pleading with the darkness take away this spell
Cigarette burns whispering like a tolling bell
(Interlude)

[Chorus]
Hostage to hell chains around his soul
Memories like anchors never let him go
Lost in the ruins of a life that fell
Can't find no peace in a world so cold

[Bridge]
Tattered flag beside him faith in a shattered land
Once a hero standing now a broken man
Fought for freedom now can't break the cell
Hostage to hell in his private little hell
[Chorus]
Hostage to hell chains around his soul
Memories like anchors never let him go
Lost in the ruins of a life that fell
Can't find no peace in a world so cold
(Interlude)

[Verse 3]
Huddled under cardboard dreams of better days
Needle in the vein makes the pain seem far away
Eyes that once saw glory now just stare at the grime
Trapped in the past sinking deep in time

[Chorus]
Hostage to hell chains around his soul
Memories like anchors never let him go
Lost in the ruins of a life that fell
Can't find no peace in a world so cold
Can't find no peace ..in a world so..... cold
(Outro)
