Memoriam The Veteran Lyrics

[Chorus]
None can see the horror I have seen
None can feel this emptiness I feel
The veteran
None can hear the screams I hear
None can wash away the blood and tears

[Verse 1]
In the line of duty
Deep in harm's way
Psychologically scarred
The price you have paid
Transition civilian life
No one understands
Unable to integrate
No future, no plans
Sleeping in doorways
Living in the street
Begging to strangers
For coins so you can eat
Most people don't look While others stare
Society's rejected
In a world that does not care

[Chorus]
None can see the horror I have seen
None can feel this emptiness I feel
The veteran
None can hear the screams I hear
None can wash away the blood and tears

[Bridge]
Lost all sense of meaning
Reality surreal
PTSD afflicted
Wounds that never heal

[Outro]
The veteran
The veteran
A message to the government
Honour the military covenant
