Bullet in a Bible
The gift you gave me saved my life, but darling,
when I came home, you were nothing but stone.
All I have remained of our love, are the memories and sorrow.
Oh darling, now that you're gone, my heart is as hollow as the Bible I hold.
Bombshells beating my mind, screams and smoke all around.
All that I can think of is your smile, and your tears, begging me not to go.
And if the gift you gave me does save my life, I'll come home to you -- with a box.
But, if a bullet does pierce my heart, I'll come home to you -- in a box.
Oh, how young and beautiful you were, but your body so weak and so frail.
My sweet, I feared holding you in my arms -- what if you were to shatter?
The sharp breaths you once took, sounded just like these shots.
The heavy beat of your heart, sounded just like these bombs.
(Heavy Breathing)
Did the last breaths you take, sound like the boy who died in my arms?
He was young, and beautiful too, newly torn from his mothers heart.
He cried, he begged, & called out to God -- no answer came, he died with just one shot.
I sat there for hours in the dug out, still in shock, fearing tomorrow.
It was all over, your gift had saved my life.
The Bible once over my heart, is now as hollow as I feel inside.
I came home, with a little black box -- I knew you were gone, but by God I had to pray.
I saw the look on my mothers face, I knew before she even spoke.
And now I stand before your grave, the stone engraved with your name.
I cannot even cry, I haven't even that much left inside.
I leave you with the Bible, I carried over my heart,
and the little black box, which now holds my heart

Gah, I'd already written a description and everything, but IE died.
Anyhow, this song idea came to me while I was watching the Green Day concert DVD (again!), Bullet in a Bible. They visit a war museum where there was a display of Bibles, books and other personal posessions with bullets in them.
So, I decided to write a song about two lovers who get seperated when the boy goes off to war. I saw it as Vietnam, but my friend Roy said that it could definitely work for Iraq also. To each their own. The girl is very ill when the boy goes of to war, so she gives him her Bible as a keepsake, & though not very religious, the boy takes it. He knows she most likely won't survive, but, he still makes a promise to himself that he will propose when he gets back from war...
And the rest, is history~

Tragic, and yeah it works for both wars, in fact, any war really. We're fighting for freedom and everything but how are our family and friends supposed to do while we're gone?
