The Soldier Ghost

• Artist: FuriazFTW
• Description: The past generation is leaving their burden upon our shoulders.
  This can apply to many things, but it is directed more at the lack of morals in our society. Other ideas that it could apply to are the environment, the debt we're racking up, etc...

Simplify
A rosebud crushed on a city street
Simplify
A Bible burned to satisfy
Why? Who? When?
Our world is massacred inside
Some say that's life;
"It happens now, then and again."

But I found proof,
written down on the subway wall,
And it read,
"The Soldier Ghost is gone and dead."
The readers nod,
smoking their last cigarettes
Going out
leaving us alive to mend...

What they've caused!
And I don't know what we're gonna do,
Or where to start,
Stuck on a train just passing thru'...
Without a ticket,
or the money, or the credentials
Just an empty suitcase
filled with overalls.

The overalls are more of an indirect symbolism. In this case, they can refer to work or hardship. I do agree though, the wording was slightly anticlimactic.

[-Deathly Destruction-]

Not entirely sure where overalls have relevance there at the end. It actually made it all rather anticlimactic. Overall, it's solid enough, although I'm no pro at verse and song.
