Battlefield
















Double runs, load guns, I’m on the battlefield again
Fingers in my tangled hair, what the hell you starin’ at?
I’m pullin’ on the suit, bulletproof, still the scars
Are there beneath the armor of the walls around my heart
Fallin’ down as I run, get back up, keep trying
It would be so much easier to lie down and start crying
Because the ache in my chest is eating me alive, I’m dying
But to them I’m just staring at the sun and sighing
They’re drawing blades, those devils called Fate and Life
Unfair as hell but even worse ‘cause I can feel it inside
How do I numb the sting, the burns, these open wounds?
I asked myself a thousand times, if only anybody knew

Oh, here I stand on the field of Time
In the chaos of humanity
Are you an enemy of mine?
I lift my shield close to my ear
Draw my sword for your love
This is how I persevere
(I have no fear)

Blood is on the grass and on the lips of the angels
Turned bad by the ironclad, so sad, so much for miracles
Now it’s really stand alone time, crunching on less than a dime
Thought you were my bloodline, it’s clear that you’re no friend of mine
Lies, cheats, deception’s proof, they’re written on your door
I had the heart to show you mercy, don’t have the capacity anymore
Blessed devotion, where have you gone, honesty and truth?
The only innocence in this world remains a part of your youth
We become uncouth creatures, turning wild, laughter to roars
It’s not about the measure of joy we feel, just the count of death scores
All the color is fading except shades of hopeless black from the core
Of the darkest corners deep within, but please remember what you fight for

Oh, here I stand on the field of Time
In the chaos of humanity
Are you an enemy of mine?
I lift my shield close to my ear
Draw my sword for your love
This is how I persevere
(I have no fear)

How simple it’d be to sleep now
A certain heaviness lies atop my chest
I could easily let this go now
To finally get some rest
But I stay strong and live for you

Oh, here I stand on the field of Time
In the chaos of humanity
Are you an enemy of mine?
I lift my shield close to my ear
Draw my sword for your love
This is how I persevere
(I have no fear)
(Repeat x1)

I have no fear
