Letter to My Son (These Wars)

[scdsam]

A musical rendition of Ursa's farewell. From the atlaland  bingo card prompt for Zuko (and cross-posted accordingly). Audio is here.

if you're reading this
then I'm already gone

faded into nothing
like the mist
before the dawn

and if you want to hate me
you can
and maybe someday you will
understand

we fight these wars
in quiet rooms
and corridors
and sometimes
battle cries can taste
the same as tears

if you're reading this
then things will be alright

hold on to the memories
when you're
fighting back the night

and try to let yourself
be good
and know that all things happen
as they should

we fight these wars
in quiet rooms
and corridors
and sometimes
battle cries can taste
the same as tears

and if you're reading this
then what I did
was worth the pain and loss and sin
you are the one thing
I was willing
to surrender
for

we fight these wars
in quiet rooms
and corridors
and sometimes
battle cries can taste
the same as tears

sometimes battle cries
can taste the same
as tears
