Song Of War

Colored trees
Truth divine
Climbing towers
Vine by vine
Followed paths 
Changed directions
Piece by piece 
A new section 
One by one
Step by step 
Use them all 
Till none are left 
Edge to edge
Walking faster
Slow your pace 
To avoid disaster
Walking slow now
Through the trees
In your mind 
You’re feeling free
Hear the birds
Hear their song 
All their notes
Prove nothings wrong 
Notes together 
In a line 
They sing a song 
That passes time 
The songbirds stop
You think what’s the matter
The pieces broke now
The illusion shattered
You see the fires 
All around
You see the trees
Burnt to the ground 
Hear the gunshots
And shouted cries
See bombs falling 
From the skies
Running fast now 
To a place to hide
To take shelter
From the hell on the outside
The flames are inside now
Burning you to pieces
Now you’re thinking 
Why do I deserve this
You feel the pain 
It causes you to cry 
And now all you want
Is to fall asleep, to die
You hold on 
Fight the pain 
Cause from your misery 
You’ve got something to gain 
Some say it’s strength
Some say hope
But when you’re done 
Only you will know
You’ve been through pain 
You’ve been through hell
But in the end
Only you can tell
Now you’re back 
You’re back to reality now
You see your untouched skin 
And put the blade down 
You’ve fought through it 
Through the war inside 
And now you’ve chose 
To save your own life 
Your anger gone now
You feel relief
You take a step back 
And let yourself breathe
You leave the room 
And you head out the door
To the woods 
Where your thoughts took you before 
You look at the treetops
As the birds begin their song
You close your eyes
As you sing along
You sing together
Those notes in a line 
You sing a song 
That passes time
You sing the song 
The same song from before 
Knowing now that it’s 
The victory song of your war
