Keep your helmet

Keep your life, son

Just a flesh wound

Here's your rifle

Crawling up the beaches now

"Sir, I think he's bleeding out"

And some things you just can't speak about

With you, I serve

With you, I fall down

Down

Watch you breathe in

Watch you breathin' out

Out

Something med school

Did not cover

Someone's daughter

Someone's mother

Holds your hand through plastic now

"Doc, I think she's crashing out"

And some things you just can't speak about

Only twenty minutes to sleep

But you dream of some epiphany

Just one single glimpse of relief

To make some sense of what you've seen

With you, I serve

With you, I fall down

Down (Down)

Watch you breathe in

Watch you breathin' out

Out

With you, I serve

With you, I serve

With you, I fall down (Down)

Down (Down)

Watch you breathe in

Watch you breathe in

Watch you breathin' out (Out)

Out (Out)

Only twenty minutes to sleep

But you dream of some epiphany

Just one single glimpse of relief

To make some sense of what you've seen
