This War

Verse 1

Rain on rusted armor

Feet that never rest

I crawl the tunnels listening

For the beast inside the nest

The grounds above are burning

Three flags across the sky

Nobody here remembers

Why the bombs still fall tonight

Pre-Chorus

I only want to make it home

With something left to hold

Chorus

This war has been going on forever

Longer than my father's bones

This war has been going on forever

Every harvest turns to stone

Verse 2

They trade in plastic rations

The fields have turned to ash

I carry what I gathered

Past the cities turning fast

The mechs patrol in silence

The cyborgs walk the wire

I pick my path between them

And I hold my breath for fire

Pre-Chorus

I only want to make it home

With something left to hold

Chorus

This war has been going on forever

Longer than my father's bones

This war has been going on forever

Every harvest turns to stone

Bridge

Nobody wins the winter

Nobody holds the ground

We just survive till morning

And the war keeps burning down

Chorus

This war has been going on forever

Longer than my father's bones

This war has been going on forever

Every harvest turns to stone
