about
A dream, after a psychedelic journey that was facilitated by a medicine woman, brought all of the pain and all of those questions to a halt. I had been shown that those we have lost are not gone, just there helping in other ways.
lyrics
I've seen a place dark side of the moon
Those meant for Valhalla but taken too soon
There’s no time to rest, no, there's work left to do
Now they form the Guardian Angel Platoon
Either lost to the wars, or wounds that remain
Foreign hands or their own, each fated the same
Watch over your brothers and sisters in pain
And in the dark when they call out go show them the way
I found myself on the top of a LAV
With some very good friends I once knew
Watching them follow on their new path
Forming the Guardian Angel Platoon
Tans, blues and greens traded for white
I could not count them all, no end in sight
No IEDs and no more fire fights
There’s no fear, no pain, just love and light.
Was it just a dream
All I have seen
Or a glimpse of peace shining through
And I see hope in the form of the Guardian Angel Platoon
Hope shining through
Hope shining through
When I woke up, I still felt the glow
The soldiers in white replaced by the snow
That fell through the night letting me know
They’re alright and I’m not alone
Yeah I've seen a place dark side of the moon
Those meant for Valhalla but taken too soon
There's no time to rest there’s work left to do
Now they form the guardian angel platoon
And there’s hope in the guardian angel platoon.
