Bandages and Shadows

Blood on the boots mud on the ground

Screams in the air no peace to be found

A torn sky whispers smoke and ash

The clock is ticking hearts still crash

Hands that tremble hold a soul

Patch the body stitch it whole

Bandages and shadows life in my hands

Running through the fire I make my stand

I’m no soldier no gun no fame

Just saving pieces of forgotten names

Faces blur under lantern’s glow

Eyes plead for mercy wounds overflow

A prayer in my throat but silence speaks

Hope’s a thread sewn into the weak

Bandages and shadows life in my hands

Running through the fire I make my stand

I’m no soldier no gun no fame

Just saving pieces of forgotten names

Every cry is a story untold

Every heartbeat a chance to hold

A war may rage but I fight small

Saving one life to save us all
