My war is done

Through arid nights 
They fire their gun
But do not see 
my war is done

the years of blood 
have stained my skin
and chambered death
inside a grin

I have born my soul
To no applause 
And washed up on 
A thousand shores 

When the blasts denote 
That death is near
And the mists of dream 
Are all but clear 

As voices fade 
Behind the sun
Then all shall see
My war is done
