HEARTS OF WAR

When I first beheld your grace, I felt lost in the shadows of my world

Created for me to save lives from things ever so cruel

I knew of this man from a land so far and yet so near

Who counted such days of agony for an end not known to all

When I first felt your warm embrace, I threw the thoughts of all dreams

To war for a nation so greedy and full of want

That every land around and about its zone for treasure and for fame

Shall bow to one rule not known to them at all

When I first heard your song of solo

In an audience so large I filled my heart with sorrow

For war had been a part of me while you were

Just all I could and needed to have so dear

When I first took this ring of life’s promise on an alter of truth

I swore no give up the war for all I cared

That you my bride by my side in all times

Shall be my pride, my rock, my defense, my all

When I first took up the challenge to war at long last

For a nation ripped with violence and cruelty of con hearts

I thought of you as I would my sword and shield

For I went with one thought of you to keep not to think

When I first heard your lovely cry for us to part in peace

I sought to find that peace at home within

For all I knew was to kill and slay

It was that they always wanted from our hearts so valiant

My war was chosen from a heart so dark and yet for you

To get to safety in time like this at every cost

That this bond be not thrown to the dust mixed with lovers’ blood

I chose to go for you to be forever at all times.
