We were there for you when the five nines fell
We listened to your stories that you had to tell
We kept you here when we thought the end would come
We cleaned up the mess that you had become
We healed your bruises and your bloody wounds
We watched you change, and we watched you bloom
We held you when you let out your screams and cries
And when the time came, we closed your eyes
So here comes another man, another soldier of the war
This war will end later then we had ever hoped for...
