This is war,
A cryptic whirlpool of souls and hurt

No it isn't easy and yes it hurts,
Giving you up for the good of the county's worth.

He was strapping in his army clothes,
But I was scared of what was leaving
And what would never be the same
While the whole world remains silent,
an ageless man plays proudly.
Mourning souls gather together,
when seven load their rifles.
