Caroline Citizen Soldier

She's a light, smothered in endless night
A fading flame, struggling just to survive
Born into constant betrayal always set up to fail, call me cynical but I must know what keeps her alive
What keeps her alive

She won't open her mouth til we open our eyes
And see this cross she has borne all along
Will this laughter and scorn turn to hearts ever torn
When she's dead and gone?

How far from heaven did she fall?
With broken wings, she barely crawls
No reasons left to stay alive
If there's a God, where's he tonight
For Caroline

Every day, a nightmare she must relive
No more love, what she's never known she never can give
Are we the cuts on her wrist that she cannot forgive
Is ignorance bliss, is ignorance bliss
Is ignorance bliss?

Will we come to the day where we find her alone
And there's nothing left of her to save?
She just wanted a place and we got in the way, what a shame
