Replica -- Sonata Arctica

I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind  your door. I tried so hard to obey 
the law, and see the  meaning of this all. Remember me? Before the war.
I'm the man who lived next door. Long ago...
As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of  what I used to be. It's easier if you
don't see me  standing on my own two feet. I'm taller when I sit  here still, you ask are 
all my dreams fulfilled.  They made me a heart of steel, the kind them bullets
cannot see, yeah...

(**)  Nothing's what it seems to be,  I'm a replica, I'm a replica
Empty shell inside of me  I'm not myself, I'm a replica of me...

The light is green, my slate is clean, new life to fill the hole in me. I had no name, last December, Christmas  Eve I can't remember. I was in a constant pain, I saw
your shadow in the rain. I painted all your pictures red,  I wish I had stayed home instead.yeah!!

(**)  

Are you gonna leave me now, when it is all over  Are you gonna leave me, is my world now over.  Raising from the place I've been, and trying to keep
my home base clean. Now I'm here and won't go back believe.
I fall asleep and dream a dream, I'm floating in the
silent stream. No-one placing blame on me  But nothing's what it seems to be, yeah!!

(**)

I'm home again, I won the war, and now I am behind  the door. I tried so hard to obey 
the law, see the  meaning of this all. Remember me? Before the war.
I'm the man who lived..                                                                     (sing365)

This song is about a veteran soldier coming back from a war who feels as if he lost his heart and soul: "As you can see, when you look at me, I'm pieces of what I used to be. They made me heart of steel, the kind them bullets cannot see."                                        (songfacts)
