Papa Yabo - Fade Away

I kind of like the lyrics to this song. Hope you all do too.
Fade Away
The world's an optical illusion
Crazy circles cause confusion
My blood is ready for transfusion
Old soldiers never die, they say
They just slowly fade away
The moon obscured the sun today
I wondered why you couldn't stay
I've lost myself but that's OK
Old soldiers never die, they say
They just slowly fade away
You up and left me all alone
I felt my poor heart turn to stone
Licked and whipped like an ice cream cone
Old soldiers never die, they say
They just slowly fade away
Look at the sky and see the stars
In every nation near and far
Fighting for peace just brings more war
Old soldiers never die, they say
They just slowly fade away
I live in the future but I'm tied to the past
I'm coming down slow but I'm moving up fast
Come the end, they say, the first will be last
Old soldiers never die, they say
They just slowly fade away
