an old one i wrote long ago

[kill_her_slowly]

Break me out of this cell
Tear me away from this hell
Secrets keep me locked away,
There’s so many I can't tell
Until now…

This massacre called war has started
So many lives lost because love parted
I'm on the battlefield shooting blanks
Words ram through me like tanks
Pull me away from this emanate death
Hold me close I’ll use my last breath

I’ll say…
“Should you ever go blind,
Rusty spoon to dig out my eyes
If you loose the ability to hear,
Dull knife to saw off my ears
If your cancer comes and hair falls out,
Scalp mine amidst screams and shouts
On the day that you die,
I too loose my life
So while we can, take my hand
Let's walk side-by-side”

No matter how far you are,
We still share the same heart
Nothing will ever keep us apart
After the smoke clears we will stand,
Amongst the bodies and bombed cars

The wars we fight are hard
But this land we will conquer,
Then rule it with love and honor
There is no time to sit and ponder
The next army is on it's way,
More lives to be lost,
Another battle to be waged

Should you ever go blind,
Rusty spoon to dig out my eyes
If you loose the ability to hear,
Dull knife to saw off my ears
If your cancer comes and hair falls out,
Scalp mine amidst screams and shouts
On the day that you die,
I too loose my life
So while we can, take my hand
Let's walk side-by-side
Let's go walk side-by-side.....
