Am I Not A Soldier? - Alexis Taylor

Now that we

Are but too fine

How do we keep

Our dream alive?

And when did we

Last make song?

And when will I next

Hear you sing along?

You are so close

But I could cry

I’ve not heard your voice

In such a long time

We build a wall

That deepens with sound

And now we’re so hard

To get around

We’re getting thinner

But we don’t die

There’s more to us together

Than meets their eyes

My name means defender

But I am no soldier

I don’t lose a brother

As we two grow older

My name means defender

But I am not a soldier

Speak of us as brothers

As we two grow older

And now that we

Have sung our song

Who will be there

To put it on

To put it on

Am I so wrong?

Or turn it over

See what’s goin' on

Who will be there

After we’re gone

I know I’m here now

And others have marched on

My name means defender

But I am no soldier

I don’t lose a brother

As we two grow older

My name means defender

Am I not a soldier?

Speak of us as brothers

And we two will grow older
