Battle

I was once lost
In a raging, bloody war
No one's winning without a cost
No one's wishing on the star

I watched by the cattle
As young men went into battle
Flinging their swords with such haste
Looking as if it were blood they want to taste

I watched a certain young man
Who had black and blue ribbon in his hand
Made by his daughter
Who survived the slaughter

The more I watch
The worse it gets
The young man has an arrow
Stuck in his chest

The more I look,
The more I cry
The man is hanging by a hook
But I know myself he'll never die

I look at my daughter-
His daughter, too-
Before I go and join the slaughter
I go to kill- revenge for you

Revenge for you-
My fallen soldier
Killing everyone for you
For every fallen, I grow bolder
Everything I do
Is for you
Is for you

The world is bleak
But I an willing
Even when my arms are weak
To keep killing, and killing, and killing

I am glad I felt no pain
For I a fate the same
as yours- too painful
too slow, too easy to revel in the memories
Soon to be lost, and I don't want that

So I'm content
Laying next to you
Still able to see behind empty eyes

Behind blank, lifeless eyes
I see that everything's still
For finally a woman dies
And it's mans fault I'm killed
