The Greatest Battle

I fight a war
Not for nation 
Or of people

No blood is spilt
No deaths are tallied
Yet I fight on

No spoil do I gain
A battle that none can win
Yet filled with the greatest pain

Millions will die for me
Many more shall bear the sorrow
Yet all will see the emptiness in me

Yes I fight a battle 
That all have joined in
The greatest battle of all 

No weapons are used
Yet you shall lose
The war against time
