[hometext] => I am a soldier.
The Phantom [bodytext] => I was that which others did not want to be, I did what I said I'd do, I've fought to keep us free, I went where others feared to go, did what others failed to do, Through out my vains runs red, white, and blue, I ask nothing of those who gave nothing, I was there when the war begain erupting, I reluctantly accepted the thought of eternal loneliness should I fail, And not once did I recieve mail, I've seen the face of terror, felt the stinging cold of fear, Many of my brothers have died, and I shed my share of tears, I've enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love, On these battlefields I've spilled my own blood, I have cried, pained, and hoped, So many times I found it hard to cope, I've lived times others say are best forgotten, I seen the bodies lay silent in fields of cotten, I found myself spitting into the wind, As loneliness finds me again, At least one day I will be able to say, In the presents of death, I could pray, Carrying this burden like a bolder, I was proud of what I was..... A Soldier.
