D-DU-UDU
 How  I survived the massacre
 I'll never  understand
 I fought as hard and strong as any  other man
 Yet I  return as hero
 And they  return as ghosts
 A heavy burden on the hearts of those  they love the most
Take  me back to the place where I used  to be
 Before  I lost a lifetime
 Show me all of the love that I used  to see
 In the eyes  of the lonely lover of  mine
 In the eyes  of this lonely lover of mine
 (Chords just as in Verse 1)
 Now my reward is peace and quiet
 Of both I'm never sure
 The sound of silence scares me senseless
 Ever since the war
 I drink away my memories
 Too vivid to be told
 The hollow heart I carry now is no good for my soul
 So take me back to the place where I used to be
 Before I lived a lifetime
 Show me all of the love that I used to see
 In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine, yes
 In the eyes of this lonely lover of mine
 Repeat Chorus and fade out by repeating it's last line
