Will these actions haunt my days? Every man I've slain Is the price I pay endless pain Close your eyes And spare yourself the view How could I hurt you? Even after all the years away from what I've known Deep down I would trade the world to see my son and wife But when does a comet become a meteor? When does a candle become a blaze? When does a ripple become a tidal wave? When does the reason become the blame? When does a man become a monster? Forgive me I'm just a man "I look into your eyes and I Think back to the son of mine" "You're as old he was When left for war" "I'm just a man Whose trying go home" fighting his life"
