lyrics

This be the sound of the messenger gettin caught in the cross fire
Just delivering a new resume with attached cover letter
Running for his life to fill the spot of another gun for hire
Now he lies like any other martyr... one more added to the slaughter
This be the sound of the ambulance siren drowned out
In the crowd of applause for the monster who-
Shot him, not a worthy trophy kill, just needed to stop the virus
Spreading but his message won't be lost like ghosts in the static
And hope that a tragic
Crime scene death would never overshadow or hold a candle
To the message he left
This be the sound of the nomad lookin' homely
"Only a mother could love me" now without a road map
One glance - rear view mirror broke - no going back
but a fork in the path could lead to a morgue or a mortgage
Paid off, no abort button so he rides out the plane crash
And make a mother proud of the man she raised
Not to give up but to give back
This be the sound of a stillborn heartbeat
on repeat, pass out in your bed sheets, but you can't sleep
Every breath that you breathe is met with a plea - haunting your dreams
That feeling you get when you can't keep a promise
All you hear is that ring in your ear

The war is won
