Never Coming Home

I’m at the end of the world, in this war I fight.
So many times I've hurled, on my last living night.
I’m never coming back, will you miss me?
It's time to attack, I wish this wouldn’t be.
My loving letter, did you get it?
Saying you deserve better, again my hearts been hit.
Your face, the last thing I see.
Why did I come to this place, all those things I wanted you to do with me.
Seeing friends die, I can’t feel your embrace.
Wipe away the tears when I start to cry, I miss your grace.
As the bullets fly, past my head.
I’m dancing on by, cannot believe I’m not dead.
As we storm this beach, you’re all I think about.
Because you’re not in arms reach, I call another battle shout.
Was this worth it in the end, no fame or glore.
Seeing another dead friend, all the blood and gore.
As our boat takes its leave, I see your tears fall.
It's something I can’t believe; did you hear my loving call?
Every time I fall asleep, you'll be in my dreams.
My heart, you forever keep, for you, my eyes still gleam.
No matter what happens, I'll always be with you.
No if, buts, or depends, I’m with you through and through.
In my head I hear our song, drowning out another gun.
Haven't seen you in so long, when I get home we'll have fun.
As the bullets flies into my chest, I let out a gasp.
Another body among the rest, life loses its grasp.
Everything will be okay; I swear we'll be together again one day.
