Bleeding in the rain...

Bleeding in the rain...

Lying here pouring my heart out
Drowning in my thoughtsย 
The flag flying high I'm so proud
In each other we trust

The rain changing into blood red
Another officer or soldier dead
Name and number sir! They said
Screaming what I felt as I bled

Light is shining, I'm not going through
I look to my left as the rain comes down
The pain is getting softer with the sound of bullet shells
There's an angel calling for me instead of you

The rain changing into blood red
Another officer or soldier dead
Name and number sir! They said
Screaming what I felt as I bled

The knocking on the door
Proud parent falls to the floor
For their sons and daughters they cry their pain
Every thought comes with lost pride
With their tears turning into the rain

The rain changing into blood red
Another officer or soldier dead
Name and number sir! They said
Screaming what I felt as I bled
Now I'm through
Proud of my pain?
I leave my pain
Loved ones are still drowning
Proud of my pain?ย 
No....

Amazingly no Keith, sometimes I just get something in my head and go deep with it, the life in the army or at war must be so hard to deal with I've got such admiration for themย
