18 Days

Weeping as no one before her has wept
 A feeling of panic takes that takes all her breath
 Emotions like lava are burning inside
 Burning with hatred, self-pity and lies
 A circle of doubt and of fear closes in
 Choking it blinds her to every good thing
 She can't face living if he's not around
 How much will his broken promise cost now?
 He promised he would never leave her again
 promised his days as a soldier would end
 her and their baby would always come first
 now they want him back for one more mission
 He tries to calm her and move to the door
 says he'll be gone 16 days and no more
 thinks of his comrades, he owes them his life
 Now forced to choose between them and his wife
 Falls to her knees, begging don't go
 Weeping, pleading, begging don't go
 A hero in her eyes, now that hero has died
 A hero in my eyes, now that hero has died
 I was a hero in her eyes, now that hero has died
 He was a hero in my eyes, now that hero has died
 18 days passed and still there was no word
 She took the hand of his daughter, his world
 Feeling abandoned, forsaken betrayed
 She lays them in darkness and drains life away
 Weeping as no one before her has wept
 A feeling of panic takes that takes all her breath
 Emotions like lava are burning inside
 Burning with hatred, self-pity and lies
 Falls to her knees, begging don't go
 Weeping, pleading, begging don't go
 A feeling of panic takes that takes all her breath
 Weeping as no one before her has wept
