lyrics

Shelter your eyes son, shelter your eyes
Don't carry the burden of this fragile moment
the rest of your life
You'll hear the echoes of fury rejoice
while your innocence dies
Temper your pride son, temper your pride
Don't walk taller than heroes who've sacrificed battles you couldnt have won
But don't glorify verses of virtue
A war song that shouldn't be sung
Oh Light of my life shelter your eyes

You've a long road to travel ahead
Don't carry an image of horror you can't comprehend
If I could I'd walk in your stead
And suffer these miles alone on this path that you tread

Harbor your loved ones, cherish your kin
It could be a season of fortune or day the world turns on its end
The tides of destruction could wait for you just 'round the bend
When the time comes son
When the time comes
Don't assume that your name's on the ledger
reflect on the things that you've done
Don't forget the names of the souls that you met through the sights of your gun
And these eyes have seen things this heart wishes could be undone

You've a long road to travel ahead
There'll be plenty of wars when the devil will ask for your dead
We all hang by a tenuous thread, only hope holds tight the end

But don't hinder the instinct that keeps you alive
Inside, we need some connection to life
A dream, a light
To shine on all of us, just once, so we know
That we're never alone.
I'll be with you always, my only son

you've a hard road to travel ahead
and a long, long way to roam
but I'll be with every step
'til you find your way back home
my only son
