Thanks to anyone that's ever heard/played this song with me, you would all have contributed to it.

First time I've ever really spent a long time recording a song. It's an old song from back in 2006 but I never really did it justice and now I feel I have.

lyrics

Now the war is over we can lay our guns down slow
Upon the bloodied bodies lying stiff, decayed, and cold

Under my feet I feel the years
Under my feet I feel the tears of a thousand souls

So light another candle for the dead that we lay down
And stand out in the rain

Wash my hands and body
Wash my hands and body
Wash my hands and body
Again

'Cause my soul is heavy but my boots keep walking

Blue skies will rise over the dead that we lay down
And their hearts will shatter
And their parts will scatter into a million other things

By my hands I killed a man
My hands I
