Is It Worth The Fight?

[Verse 1]

Moonlight on the razor wire

Cold hands on a rifle grip

Every heartbeat stretched so thin

I can hear the thunder rolling in

[Pre-Chorus]

And the shells keep falling closer

Every shadow wears a different face

I keep whispering a name that's gone

But nobody's there when I turn around

[Chorus]

Is it worth the fight

When the boys beside me fall

Is it worth the night

For the men who never saw the wall

They traded blood for promises

And left us standing tall alone

Tell me is it worth the war

When the hearth is gone

[Verse 2]

Smoke and dust upon my tongue

Brothers breathing their last song

I hold what's left of yesterday

A letter never got to say

[Pre-Chorus]

And the smoke is getting thicker

Every heartbeat feels the cost

I keep reaching for a hand that's gone

But nobody's there when I turn around

[Chorus]

Is it worth the fight

When the boys beside me fall

Is it worth the night

For the men who never saw the wall

They traded blood for promises

And left us standing tall alone

Tell me is it worth the war

When the hearth is gone

[Bridge]

They drew the lines in marble halls

In suits of silk and old speeches

While we bleed out in the mud

For a flag and broken reasons

I don't want the medal

I don't want the name

I just want my brothers

Standing in the flame

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Is it worth the fight

When the boys beside me fall

Is it worth the night

For the men who never saw the wall

They traded blood for promises

And left us standing tall alone

Tell me is it worth the war

When the hearth is gone
