Still feel that limb
As they did before

He lay on a cot
He was drenched in a sweat

He was mute and staring
But feeling the thing
He had not

I know how it is
When something is gone
A piece of your eyesight
Or maybe your vision

A corner of sense
Goes blank on the screen
A piece of the scan
Gets filled in by hand

You know that it was
And now it is not
So you just make do with
Whatever you´ve got

Men in a war
If they´ve lost a limb
Still feel that limb
As they did before

If your nerve is cut
If you´re kept on the stretch
You don´t feel your will
You can´t find your gut

And she lay on her back
She made sure she was hid
She was mute and staring
Not feeling the thing
That she did

I know how it is

When something is gone
A piece of your eyesight
Or maybe your vision
