THE WARRIOR

everything we know has been kept a secret
tear these walls down, speak softly into my ear
we are here, forever till dawn
and life has made a mistake. a repeat for yesterday

so shut the gates. rebuild this fort. throw up the flag. the color flag
we have been over run
seal the gates board up the windows
we're being over run

now we're retreating they trap us in our seats with our eyes closed
we sing our last words
before all of this is lost burn that white flag called surrender
burn it to ashes, to ashes. burn it. to ashes, to ashes. burn it.

set our remains to the sky. call for back up. they have my hands tied behind my back
i wont surrender
they have my hands tied behind my back
i refuse to surrender

they break my thumbs, look away this is too much to bare.
they broke a few of my ribs, i refuse to crack
they stick my head in the socket. i see the light of day. "love is here"
they lock me in. "pain lets me know that im still alive."

captain, where are you now? i cant seem to hold my breath. captain our ship is sinking. our love is fleeing. O'Captain, these chains are so tight. O'Captain. i feel the angels light.

the devil is here, all red and gray, the devils are here. and i am not afraid.
