End Transmission Lyrics

The sound of waves crashing down

Onto the night it found

Restless warrior washed up on unknown ground

Restless warrior shadows switching all around

Gunpowder pollen on lavender air

Adrenalized fear don't forget your

Mission your function

End transmission

No contact, lost and wandering

A simple life of indiscreet

Goings-on after the sun sets

Wipe the blade clean on the canvas

Legs of these tattered britches

Torn with briars and thorns and near misses

The choir of birds begin their courting

Sending me back to the cleansing stream

Restless warrior blending with surroundings

Restless warrior bending to dark doubting

Restless warrior expending your grounding

In the whispers between the shouting

Myths of morphing or glowing eyes

Legend has it this island

Is crippled by relentless tides

So they say, maybe it's always been

Here I am with bordeaux on the canvas

Smudged and drawn and quartered

Women and children

Innocents and civilians

Hide my hands thrown up to the heavens

Doused in mud that once fueled these streets

Look around and see the flags of our fathers

What would they think of us now

Soul stained scarlet, who wants to know?

Articles and interviews, welcome back parades

Saliva confetti drenches his coat

No one willing to even take his résumé

They look away like he is a monster

Turn their backs like abusive mothers

Morals matter less when following orders

The two on your shoulders feud with each other

Deep breath, end transmission

Deep breath, end transmission

Deep breath, end transmission

Deep breath

Confused and depressed

Restless warrior fighting for a way back home

Restless warrior finding solace in stone

Restless warrior, was this worth fighting for?

Restless warrior found floating near the shore
