Wolves At The Gate - War In The Time Of Peace lyrics
Your rating:
Marching alone where I don't belong Tapping along in the dark before the dawn, nothing is wrong ya 'hear? Abandon the sound of the captain's call Grabbing my gear as I jump the wall before nightfall is here I've crossed the line of the great divide I heard your orders I sneak past land mines, watch them with each stride I know the borders Stumbled upon to the battleground I search and look for the fight but a white flag's all I found out here I know, I know you said you've overcome but I think it's time I joined the fight Lay down your arms young one, I realize it's hard to see the war is won my son. You must see the war is won over and done. Caught in the snare of the rival's jaws Digging in deep as it rears it's vicious claws, I guess my fight is here What have I done? I'm trapped and all alone. I'm bleeding out and fading quick. Footsteps draw near (could this be it?) Is my death now here (could this be it?) Who's this that's come for me in this dying and desperate state? Lay down your arms young one, I realize it's hard to see the war is won my son. You must see the war is won over and done. Rough hands are placed upon me, I'm far too weak to fight and break myself free I was chasing apparitions, what's wrong with my volition? Just as my body floated, I dread and fear what is this stranger's motives? What have I done? I opened up my eyes to see the strange bore a dear old face. And water filled my eyes it was my captain that I had disgraced I turned to look away in shame, but in tender words you called my name "See I bear the marks that fought the war!" Lay down your arms young one, I realize it's hard to see the war is won my son. Over and done. You must see the war is won over and done.
