Never Came Home

Raise your right hand
And swear in an alliance
Sign your life away
To fight evil
And everyone who dares to be defiant

For from boys to men
Their mothers cry
Proud of what has grown
What he has formed in to
A monster unknown

And in distant lands
His faith and courage are tested,
Broken down,
Grinded and twisted...

But his eyes now see
Though they call him blind
As though his fight
Was nothing more than a waste of time

So he swears
And screams in the night
Covered with tears
He's standing alone in the dark
With no one to fight  

For from a man to a monster
His mother cries...no more
Afraid of what he has become
He is shunned
Left behind closed doors

So the Monster grows
