Eternal Soldier

The threat detected
A tear in the fabric of time
Incursion, sighted
Tomorrow's weapons, yesterday's line
Insert the asset
Neural implant complete
Engage the hostiles
Forever onward never retreat

Decades or centuries
Bullets or swords
To hellish battle descend
Living and dying before you're born
In a war without end
He can never go home
Until death his fate is sealed
He's become the eternal soldier

An ancient enemy
Gone for so long
Invades the past
Attacks our history
Theaters of war
All through the ages
Parallel oceans
Space time the farthest shore

The pain of the end
Is now a future memory
This life after death
In an alternate reality
Critical mission
Perpetual counterattack
Still time to wonder
Is it possible to ever go back?

Decades or centuries
Bullets or swords
To hellish battle descend
Living and dying before you're born
In a war without end
He can never go home
Until death his fate is sealed
He's become the eternal soldier
He's become the eternal soldier
He's become the eternal soldier
