Losing was half the battle, fighting was the rest Bruised and trapped and saddled, trying, no success Was stupid, stabbed in travel, denying so called bests Troops with massive cattles, defying's not correct
Proving that the point cut too deep, moving fast to front shut to weep Feeling weak, given up, killing streaks on siblings, STOP! I failed you, Failed myself, spread more pain than the pain i've felt If i could go back, do somethin' else, fed poor saints than to save my pelt
From this day on, this point forward, this economy falls towards Ponies broke, sad and poor, Can’t afford a candle for Families with cabins torn, battlefields have ravaged all Casualties in baggage for a mannered merry foal
It's survival of the fittest, in denial of the sickness Of a child facing witness, in a wild crazy business As of now there's no way back, no returning, no retract No near curtain, no exact. So we’re burning, fallen, black.
In time of war, No crime to fall Yet cries for more A fright to all Can’t stand it, shan’t have it, can’t stand a chance, dammit, Stand! Can’t carry on, cramped and it’s all, expanded to long, and abandoned, our fault as we sank in our cause
I've watched as the innocent ride, brimming with pride, thinking of conquest I thought these things would be wiped simple as flies, turned out to be nonsense I sent them into demise, the innocent died, although it was offset It was my thing to decide, these innocent lives, they trusted me but yet
I failed them, I'm sorry, I didn't know of the wicked secrets that war keeps I hadn't heard the sound of a weakening heartbeat, never before had I seen the demons that haunt me They taunt me, but I don't fear death, I lost me in all those regrets It's cold but yet my bones are set in stone, it won't reset my soul is dead and so
I'm finding shelter in a bottle, mind is dealt with but these thoughts are grinding, melting me with sorrow, cries of "help me" I'm at loss of words, I felt it, they are lost and cursed, afraid that I have lost the world. just dazed, but I am often worse.
And it's all because, these walls and facades we can't hold 'em up Wouldn't start to withdraw if a cobra struck. Got all of the cards never called the bluff Now the blood drawn is crust, and the bones are all but dust I hear their call, I must. I can't keep the souls of the fallen hushed
In times of war, the light is lost, my frightening thoughts will guide the shot Can’t stand it, shan’t have it, can’t stand a chance, dammit, Stand! Can’t carry on, cramped and it’s all, expanded to long, and abandoned, our fault as we sank in our cause
