THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF WEAPONS

BUT THE ONES THAT HURT THE MOST

ARE THE WEAPONS MADE OF MEMORIES

AND THE DEADLY MIDNIGHT GHOST

NOT ALL WOUNDS ARE RED AND BLOODY

THERE ARE WOUNDS THAT TOUCH THE MIND

THESE ARE THE WOUNDS THAT ALWAYS FESTER

THEY'RE THE NEVER HEALING KIND

WHY ARE WE WHO'VE DONE OUR DUTY

PLAGUED BY WOUNDS THAT NEVER HEAL

MADE BY WEAPONS OF OUR MEMORIES

WHICH ARE WORSE THAN LEAD AND STEEL
