Saved - The Dear Hunter

Amongst the stone and smoke

We never laid before

Images floating all about

Life in the afterglow

My decaying mind pretends

None of this ever happened

We either learn to live a lie

Or we’re waiting here to die

And after all this suffering

I could lie here for good

But with a mind on fire

I try and stand my ground

Illuminate and I will follow

Amongst the stone and smoke

Rising above it all

Broken but not beyond repair

Let’s see how this soul fares

And after all this suffering

I could lie here for good

But with a mind on fire

I try and stand my ground

Illuminate and I will follow you…

The Private does as

The General says

The General does as

The President says

The President does what

The First Lady says

So, So they say …
