I've heard all is fair, but maybe you don't care
maybe it wasn't there, this light I'm tendin'
How much more can it take, how much longer can I wait
to let go and lay down this flame, I'm defendin'
Can you see from far away, how I can't move some days
if I just hear your name in the distance
Like a lonely soldier, still, pinned on some foreign hill
by the raining stars and shells, hopin’ and listenin’
Hear that ancient verse, the song of the poor man's worth
when the lips of the sirens purse and they all start singing
The fanfare of nightingales, the march on the wishing well
for salvation's army's bell, on the front lines ringin'
Is it war, or is it love if all you've ever done
was get me on the run? I've been hidin'
Where the wounded hearted ones, keep our lamps like setting suns
retreated but never won, all the flags still flyin'
