The Leader's of Roanoke

Take me away, to the place where I belong
'Cause nothing here makes sense to me anymore
out in the fields, they're living off our blood
why can't I just come back home?

return me to tranquility
and i'll show you opportunity
why can't life be simple once again?

I served my term, I've paid the price
but it's just not worth the sacrifice
I've picked up all the pieces to my soul
(and they say)

Chorus:
Go on
The leaders of Roanoke are here
So go on
We fight for other's peace and freedom
show me what it's like
show me what it's like to say go on

I'm coming home, back to a life of simplicity
Help me ease the torture in my head
'Cause my life seems so vague
And everyone is so far away
everything I know and love is dead

Return me to the battle field
it's the only place I know is real
I lost this life I once loved long ago

Atop the hill of this horrid land
A stake through hearts and blood in hands
It's the only place that I can now call home
(and they say)

(chorus)

I'm standing here, around me bodies lay
Weak and bruised, I stand here all alone
'Cause I know nothing else, I can't let it go away
I finally feel like I'm back home

The song's about war and what happens to people who live a life of war
