Immortal Soldiers

Here lies my captain fantastic
A time capsule buried in the sand
Endless rainbows
Heroes made of plastic
That don't hear that train coming
Little terrors
Do their best to end us
But we live for ever and ever
During battle baddies die
Then sure enough back to life
In the flotsam of the weapons and the body parts the remanence of daydreams
I piece together all the heroes and the villains and I box the dreams away
Immortality
Why believe in heaven
Hell is everything under the sun
During battle baddies die
But bad guys don't know they're bad
In the flotsam of the weapons and the body parts
the remanence of daydreams
I piece together all the heroes and the villains
and I box the dreams away
I wonder why the mimicry, the guns, explosions
and the crossing of the swords
I wonder why they made us never to expire
and live forever in the holes
Now at the rainbow's end
A landfill we pretend
It is the perfect battleground
They've lived a thousand times
through old nursery rhymes
They said I should forget about
But they'll always be with me
a generations soon succeeds
Far as the eye can see
Swim in a plastic sea
My own hypocrisy
It's not for you and me
This immortality
Real heroes don't come back again
Like they do on the TV
Cos we kill them in 3D
That's immortality
