Eloise

On this piece of rose-colored paper, Eloise
I can smell your beauty and care
Each impression of ink, Eloise
Like the curling of your raven black hair

If I awake from this horrible dream, Eloise
I don't know how or when
I'll be with you and your skin like cream, Eloise
I'll be with you in the end

And what about my soul, Eloise
Where will I go
My homeland has forsaken me Eloise
Will God forsake me too

Once I was a kind and gentle man, Eloise
I know you remember me well
But in this blood-filled dirt, Eloise
I've surveyed the landscape of hell

Down the broken road we process
Towards the great unknown
Towards what thy're calling progress
Every step leads me farther from home

And what about my soul, Eloise
Where will I go
My homeland has forsaken me, Eloise
Will God forsake me too
