The Father of the Vagabond

Dog Tags

 

The skies of grey are an overwhelming flurry

Rustic bandages hold together the clouds

Nuclear-felt wraps around him like a cobra

Wounds fresh from the crash, heart on a tightrope

This is his duty to those he has known

 

His actions will not bring effects for millennia

Crawling amongst a town that is simply remnants

Fingers tremble as they brush a stone, longing a bandage

For he can’t go on

 

All soldiers bleed

All soldiers bleed

 

Images on the projector of black and white

The green light in his eyes radiates across the waters

Old factory, a princess’ smile, the passing of automobiles

It’s a trip on a train as the scenery breaks barriers

Fulfillment f the academy’s duties when the call came

He’s never doing well for his days on infinity

Resting his head on the city’s smoking history

He could paint his name on the dirt beneath him

But the days to fall out would force it away

 

Stain it now

With every color

 

The boy with the name of strength pierces his vision

‘Aiden’, I leave you, there’s no place for men against their words’

The promise smokes in a velvet chair, coughing up tar

‘Break your finger, father, it’s time for a home on the border’

 

Leave behind the signature on tags
Leave your sign

 

All soldiers bleed

All soldiers bleed

 

All soldiers bleed

All soldiers bleed

 

A wish to sing the lullaby one last time

To guide them in society’s uprising

For the story to breathe on more pages

For the symphony to play one final chord

 

A ban on my life for acts of pride, those damned acts
Put out a cigarette on his window and a hand a lighter to his son

Vengeance sharpened at the nails but not at his head

The world fades and valor is his guilty pleasure

All soldiers bleed

All soldiers bleed

 

All soldiers bleed

All soldiers bleed

 

All soldiers bleed

All soldiers bleed

 

All soldiers bleed

All soldiers bleed

 

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah

 

My WIP story tentatively titled “Dragmaster” is a story of tragedy, love, life, and death. And this song stems from those exact ideas.
