Soul on the Battlefield

Soul got lost on a battlefield
While we were walking home one night
And I took a left turn but my soul it yearned
To get a little closer to the fight
So I went on without notice but that night in my sleep
My dreaming head had come empty
And my thoughts they were only skin deep

Soul got lost upon the battlefield
Watching while around the plain of pain
Machines they call guns for hi(gh)re
Went along shooting just in vain
There's broken bodies and soulless rifts
Littering the land
And soul decided she had had enough
So soul she up and joined with the band
Started singin'

Praises be to your soul routes
Yeah the solitary moments when we know
When the rain's shining or the sun falling
We have a deeper place to go
Yeah don't we have a deeper place to go
Well don't we have a deeper place to go

Soul she stepped on a landmine
And boy as soon as it tickled with its toe
Sparks went flying everywhere
And the shrapnel was the color of a rainbow
And then the bullets flew and the missiles too
The battle and the fury round the land it grew
Soul stood in the middle telling ancient riddles
Saying where's the ancient warriors who knew to sing

Praises to your shrapnel, yeah the burning shards of love
Won't we give up the posture of the pusher
Stand on the wire with the dove
But my misdirected latent longing
Lingers in my fingers
There's the big one and the bigger
Filling purses with the trigger
Leaving nothing but the love leaving nothing but the love
Leaving nothing but the love
