A Battle Song Plays On

In a treasure chest diamond facet fire opal dawn Holding fast Breathless gasps Moments quickly gone A sailor's dream But how it seems Will he make it home Bruised and battered Thoughts a tatter Silhouetted song Ingrained of pain His thoughts insane His love O' how he longs Of days and nights The bitter fear A battle song plays on
