Energy Whores – Sacred Wounds lyrics

Let me hear you one more time
That you love that you love me
Going to a land I know
They don’t want me there at all

Promise me if I get home
We’ll start a family, have a family
If I come back to you in pieces
Hope you’ll love what’s left of me

What I’ve seen and done
On each deployment, still haunts me
My bodies still young and strong
But I’m wounded in my soul

Remember me this way
Pull me close, even closer
Don’t let me fade away,
Fade away. Fade away

They can train you to be strong
To be a soldier, a soldier
But I’ll never love the killing
Cause in my heart I know it’s wrong

When I saw the cities burn
I held your picture, your picture
To remember who I was
But who I was is dead and gone

Say it to me one more time
That you love me, that you love me
In the mirrors of your eyes
I need to see I’m still alive

Now a final embrace
Pull me close, even closer
Don’t let me fade away,
Fade away. Fade away

There are many just like me
Who tell their story, their story?
We are angry, sad and lonely
And the shame cuts like a knife

I promised I would serve
To protect my country, our country
But these sacred wounds won’t heal
And my hearts numb from the pain
These sacred wounds won’t heal
And I will never be the same
