Bible Dream Lyrics

i loved the world when we were poor
when winter banged on summer's door
when pain was April rain upon my skin
i sheltered as each friend was tamed
and shackled by the waiting game
now life has left a stain upon my skin

soldier boy, soldier on
your eyes are cold and the spark is gone

my blackest days were bandaged white
I've prayed upon my darkest night and bible dreams the lives of former whores
i slept beside this angry calm
kept faith alive and far from harm
torn I've lived I'll die a boy still born

soldier boy, soldier on
your eyes are cold and the spark is gone
they've chosen you to bear the stain
for god unleft this world bereft
and the scars remain, the scars remain
