The War

And all these songs I write for you

They tear me up, it's not hard to do

Listen to my voice

It's the only weapon I kept from the war

And I can soothe every ailment you endure

And I can see into the future most assured

I don't have a choice

It's the only life I know after the war

Everything we made, reduced to dust

You were the one who taught me most

I carry your remains

Your emblem and your name

Nothing left will ever be the same

And this war we fought was violent and long

Weeks turned into years but we keep on keeping on

The ringing in my brain

Is what remains

This war has worn me down

Broken dreams and a hole in the ground

Don't give up

And don't give in
