The War

[Verse 1] And all these songs I write for you They tear me up, it's not hard to do Listen to my voice It's the only weapon I kept from the war [Chorus 1] From the war From the war From the war [Verse 2] And I can soothe every ailment you endure And I can see into the future most assured I don't have a choice It's the only life I know after the war [Chorus 2] After the war After the war After the war [Bridge] Everything we made, reduced to dust You were the one who taught me most I carry your remains Your emblem and your name Nothing left will ever be the same [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] And this war we fought was violent and long Weeks turned into years but we keep on keeping on The ringing in my brain Is what remains [Chorus 3] Is what remains Is what remains Is what remains [Outro] This war has worn me down Broken dreams and a hole in the ground Don't give up And don't give in
