I know a man from a fallen place Who still walks in a field of graves His hands are stained His eyes are open He's a shell of a different man Looking down on a boy Already broken There's a ticking underneath his feet There's a trench where his soul should be And in the night He hears explosions He cuts deals with the Devil all day Running far from the boy Already broken They say no noose can hang him They say no grave can hold him He's like a storm On a still ocean With every gun at his head He never fears his own death Can't break a man Already broken In between this life and death Is a razor-wire fence That's where he's been And where he's going He's a ghost of a desolate land He's a wandering man Already broken There's a ticking underneath his feet There's a war always on his street His hands are stained In crimes unspoken He cuts deals with a blood-stained hand He's a lawless man Already broken They say no noose can hang him They say no grave can hold him He's like a storm On a still ocean With every gun at his head He never fears his own death Can't break a man Already broken They say he felt a moment of Grace For an hour in a different place And like a ghost Her eyes were open And he felt like a different man When she sang to the boy Already broken
