Verse 1:

Not Knowing what he had got

into only following the sheep

The message sent for

his deployment at only

C G

twenty-three Promised

to be there for

a short time

His mother looks

at photos Passed

down from a

family tradition

Her head lies

on her lap

Chorus 1:

I'll never be sure

exactly what it means

"To serve and protect

D/F#

us from enemies"

They make sure

we're scared

To justify this

ugly bloody mess

It's less than your pride

D/F# G--

it's suicide at best

Verse 2:

The waiting fills

her with delusion

and memories gone

by "How could I

give life to my

baby and then

let him go die?"

But with this joke

administration

where no one is exempt

It's not your fault

and never will be

Don't hold love

in contempt

Chorus 2:

I feel like I'm lost

drowning out at sea

Surrounded by space with

D/F#

no regard for sympathy

She sees the parade of

victory and war that

wasn't won "I'm not

coming home He's

D/F#

my only son"

Bridge:

C D

If an angel earns its wings

Em C

every time somebody dies

Then today the angels

black out the blue sky
