Russian Roulette

How I survived the massacre
I'll never understand
I fought as hard and strong as any other man
Yet I return as hero
And they return as ghosts
A heavy burden on the hearts of those they love the most
Take me
Back to the place where I used to be
Before I lost a lifetime
Show me
All of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of the lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
Now my reward is peace and quiet
Of both I'm never sure
The sound of silence scares me senseless
Ever since the war
I drink away my memories
Too vivid to be told
The hollow heart I carry now is no good for my soul
So take me
Back to the place where I used to be
Before I lived a lifetime
Show me
All of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine, yes
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
Take me
Back to the place where I used to be
Before I lived a lifetime
Show me
All of the love that I used to see
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine, yes
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
