Lyrics

Rise

luck smiles upon me
with crooked teeth & a diamond smile
& truth in the shape of fiction
choices of the heart

no ones only the lonely
but we all know the part
gazing out behind cold steel blue
I can see the eyes of age

dirty shirt & cup at feet
the coin drops
we rise to greet the day

the soldier takes his mark
a line drawn in the dark
the winds of time blow strange
& all the wars we wage
are in our hearts?

five foot six & eyes of blue
beautiful, never had a clue
never had an opinion
never had a thing to loose

so truth falls upon deaf ears
& we all hear what we want to hear
like faith from the faithless
I see my reflection in everything I see

the soldier takes his mark
a line drawn in the dark
the winds of time blow strange
& all the wars we wage
are in our hearts?
