Fallen Soldier

This morning, on our patrol
We found him lying still
A soldier named Daniel
Fallen on this hill

As the rules dictate
We searched for what he bore
And found a letter, nothing more

Dear Emily
It's been days here
I miss you so much
Without you, I fear
Explosions light the sky
All around me
I'm scared, I won't lie
Your love is all I see

For now, luck's been kind
But I need you near
No friends to find
Just silence here
Someone should explain
What this has to do
With you and me
And the love we knew

Dear Emily
There's so much left to live
It seems absurd to give
Our lives like this
Dear Emily
I haven't slept at all
A cold dream tells me
The end will call

When you read this letter
Speak to the stars
Since I've been here
They've been my only guards

I've seen men cry like children
Seen death's strange flight
Hovering silently
Devouring our light

Dear Emily
There's so much left to live
It seems absurd to give
Our lives like this
Dear Emily
I haven't slept at all
A cold dream tells me
The end will call

Dear Emily
Believe in me, we'll meet
I love you, we're linked
I wait for you just here

Dear Emily
I'm waiting in the light
Forever in our hearts
From soldier Daniel's war
