I still see you when days were young.
like a shadow you followed me
brave but unsung.
Then war was a game
still you obeyed every command-
The best soldier this captain ever had.
But the things I believed in made me so blind
that losing you never crossed my mind,
for how then could my shadow fall with me
there standing beside
All of the things I believe have cursed me somehow,
and there is nothing can change that now.
The way I can reach back to you and undo what has been done.
Honor, duty run in my veins.
Wild horses gallloping on with a fool at their reigns
who could laugh and face death but couldn't see,
but soon it would be laughing right back at me.
Now the things I have seen have opened my eyes.
Too late is one blinded fool made wise
who stared watching his shadow fall
while he stood right by his side.
All of the things I believed have cursed me somehow,
and God there's no way to change that now.
A force, a power that's great enough
to undo the wrong I have done to you.
