A hard fall

on a rough path

her body her betrayer

she spoke as she fought back

to lose is to lose

but i'll never die for you

and now i'm saved with

the flare, the spark, the alarm

i am willing this

i'm not alone in this fight

you've made a curse of it

there's no excuse for the trite

not one

would they believe

the things we've done

this gives my sleepless nights

a reason to be home

they're crying out

as they make their way down

in the midst of all this drowning

what will come of us 

swing now hard

the reveille sounds

was it worth it

they set the fire

with eyes so wide

a sudden sense of comfort 



washed over them at once

they're crying out

as they make their way down

in the midst of it

what became

swing now hard

with eyes so wide

love is all there was
