Dogs of War

Without protection

I've come to watch you sleep

I see how you struggle

I sense that you're fighting me.

It touches me deeply

to watch you suffer - still

to know you so helpless

in my old hands I let you sleep.

I could never hurt you

I value the trust in me

I'm scared and feel stranded

Alone in the tides of life.

I beg you please

Please don't wake up now

I beg you please

Please don't give up now.

Don't take the blame for me

Let's talk it over

Don't bear the shame with me

I have a sacrifice to make.

Call back all my demons

You carried the cross for me

Let go of my burden

I think i can bear the pain.

Sing with me, stranger

Get lost in your darkest dream

Your pain is my symphony

I dance with your dogs of war.
