Lyrics
Not Really Home
(aka War Remembered)
© 2012 Sahlen-Starburst
(chorus)
They say that I'm back home now, you'll never know it by me
Thoughts and prayers float somewhere else far across the seas
Can't seem to wrap myself around my wife and family
They say that I'm back home now, you'll never know it by me
Thru the years this flood of tears lack of humanity
All the beers can't hide the fears keep on haunting me
Crushing shame we're all to blame universal guilt
Throughout the years, this flood of tears, this tragedy we've built
(repeat chorus)
Bloody mayhem, dancing death, wretched casualties
My own fox hole this one I know it's where I'll always be
Blazing bombs break up the throngs there's no victory
Bloody mayhem, dancing death is all I'll ever see
(repeat chorus)
(bridge)
This theater of the horror crimes
Human aberrations
Actors doing pantomime
Spring for salvation
(repeat chorus)
