War for the Innocent

from Before Us by Duncan Alex

/

lyrics

© 2016 d. wheeler

i give my trust to you
there's nothing else to do
so if it's fine by you
i give my life to you

i’ve nothing much to prove
and i have naught to lose
for living life for you
is a simple thing to do

don't have the luxury
of knowing history
of being wrong or right
just cast into the night

we have no use for dreams
we have no strength for sleep
war knocks on every door
blood from the homes it pours

the darkness spreads the world
into the fire we're hurled
it lasts a thousand years
long after mothers' tears

the battle carries on
and if only there were just the one
but no miracles belong
outside the realm of song

i gave my life to you
there's nothing i could do
so if it's fine by you
i’ll keep on being blue
