[Verse]
Steel boots on the ground the fog is thick
Echoed silence a cruel trick
Fields of gold now red and torn
He left one night never saw the morn
[Verse 2]
Letters sent back from a world of flame
Each one filled with a piece of his name
A hero in ranks they sang him praise
But his shadow stayed lost in the bloodied haze
[Chorus]
Oh soldier boy where did you go
Your story's sung but we’ll never know
Across the seas across the sky
Did you regret or just say goodbye
[Verse 3]
A cold medal on an empty hand
Given to a widow who can't understand
She looks at the stars and curses each light
Wishing he'd come back just one more night
[Bridge]
A hero they say is a man of pride
But pride don’t comfort the tears we’ve cried
The hollow marches play in the square
Each note is a dagger of despair
[Chorus]
Oh soldier boy where did you go
Your story's sung but we’ll never know
Across the seas across the sky
Did you regret or just say goodbye
