When Leo's coming back from school
With a tear in his eye
He always ran straight to his room
Rejected by a very cruel
Estranged father
He never played by the rules
His mother always told him
Stand strong cause boys don't cry
Soon you'll be a man
Just make these tears shine
Like stars in your eyes
Leo made his mother proud
It made him feel better
When the mood was getting loud
A dream can turn into a curse
When family gathers
Long silence pierced with bitter words
Remember
The ghosts of war stand behind
Leo left home very young
To live his own life
To prove his father wasn't right
Working hard for many hours
Just trying to get by
He went abroad and joined the fight
Remember
The ghosts of war walk behind
Fly, fly to find my way
Higher, now I'm on my way
Even under fire
Our duty is to do or die
Leo is on a mission
Scouting the outskirts, closing the distance
To recon information
And get in touch with the allied resistance
With eagle eye precision
The soldiers carry on their mission
Tension is getting higher
And Leo's squad is caught in the crossfire
In Silence, cease the fire
Shaken but still alive
Down a soldier lies
The ghosts of war stand near by
There's a field where angels dance
He whispered before he died
A tear fell as he reached his hand
Holding a pearl of fire
You walk through empty streets
Where ruins crush you to tears
No signs of victory
From those hiding with fear
I'll see you in the morning
This dream is made of pearls and fire
