Silent War
They forgot the cause for the falling ash
The disaster aftermath of the great collapse
Decrees to stay away from the grey afterthoughts of the past
To live for the story we tell; our legacy to last
Chaos and fatigue englulf this meeting of souls
Kindred minds intertwined in the future we stole
We arm ourselves with shields, and weapons of mass destruction
These trigger fingers engaging in our rebel-yell seduction
The war wages on with tears replacing sounds
The drummer’s playing now with hope instead of sound
We’re always finding painful ways to eacape the fear of silence
So calmity please, beget these scenes of crushing violence
This is the path We fell into by chance
No one left to blame but fate and circumstance
As the emerald fields fade away to shades of grey
The battle rages on, while forgotten
Youth plays today
Here in your arms; I slowly drift into you and I
But I can’t leave you here while your green eyes swell with pride
To hold back the tears; the scars ever present here
I hope that one day we will hang up our shields and simply dissapear
