[Verse 1]
Boots in the mud
Names on a dog tag
Rusted
Smoke in my lungs
Praying to someone I trusted
Radio crackle
Static and shrapnel and fear
I keep a picture
Folded and stained by the years
[Chorus]
Save their souls
Bring them home
Let them rest in peace
Let them rest in peace
Can you save me?
Can you save us?
While the fighting still cuts deep
While the fighting still cuts deep
Hearts pounding
In the dark I still believe
Lost light pulled from the teeth
Of the darkness
Save their souls
Bring them home to sleep
[Verse 2]
Letters unread
Stuffed in a jacket pocket
Ghosts at my back
Breathing down every corridor
I see their faces
Flashing in every window
I feel them reaching
Begging to cross that threshold
[Chorus]
Save their souls
Bring them home
Let them rest in peace
Let them rest in peace
Can you save me?
Can you save us?
While the fighting still cuts deep
While the fighting still cuts deep
Hearts pounding
In the dark I still believe
Lost light pulled from the teeth
Of the darkness
Save their souls
Bring them home to sleep
[Bridge]
If I make it out
I carry every name
Every broken vow
Every spark of flame
I won't let them fade
I won't turn away (oh)
Every breath I take
Is a promise that I’ll stay
[Chorus]
Save their souls
Bring them home
Let them rest in peace
Let them rest in peace
Can you save me?
Can you save us?
While the fighting still cuts deep
While the fighting still cuts deep
Hearts pounding
In the dark I still believe
Lost light pulled from the teeth
Of the darkness
Save their souls
Bring them home to sleep
