Till we meet again my friends

over a year ago

naughty town

I did my duty

I did my best

I hid behind my bullet proof vest

I walked the streets with gun in hand

I held the peace in a foreign land

People didn’t want me there

They would often stand and stare

But my duty was to keep the peace

I tried to save a life, at least

I saw men die

I saw men suffer

Life couldn’t get too much tougher

Bombs and bullets played their tune

And forced me deep in to the gloom

My duty there was never done

I worked until the passing sun

Then one day the years have passed

My memories would last and last

No corner of my mind is safe

I am haunted by that foreign place

I try to run

I try to hide

My demons always by my side

Did I serve my country true

Would I really die for you

Did I do my very best

Did I need my bomb proof vest

Did I see my colleagues die

Or is it just a wicked lie

All I know is this you see

I can never be set free

The Troubles they have left their mark

They keep me trembling in the dark

So enjoy your freedom that I won

For this soldiers work is done!
