[00:00.551]At War With Me - Zack Hemsey
[00:45.187]Only notions he considers
[00:46.517]are hollowed and lost thoughts
[00:48.646]Visions that confer only sorrow
[00:50.386]that time’s caught
[00:51.906]A ghost upon a body
[00:53.076]so shoddy and scared soft
[00:54.936]A mind so terrified it’s resigned
[00:56.795]and it’s shut off
[00:58.115]But that’s to be expected
[00:59.525]when a boy has been selected
[01:01.095]In his hands is placed a weapon
[01:02.635]as a soldier then directs him
[01:04.584]Shoot upon your father
[01:05.754]To refuse you’ll burn in horror
[01:07.234]No pursuit of pride and honor
[01:08.733]He just stands immersed in sweat
[01:11.012]Family eyes connect
[01:12.142]He holds his rifle to his chest
[01:13.812]His heart is heavy with regret
[01:15.022]as he unloads with his offence
[01:17.362]And “in the name of freedom”
[01:18.932]is chanted to loud applause
[01:20.441]While planted in his brain
[01:21.721]is an image of Hell crossed
[01:23.741]Sobbing in his spirit
[01:25.161]and fearing the holocaust
[01:26.781]He must compose himself
[01:28.151]or risk being the next lost
[01:30.081]Now every shadow hides a face
[01:31.761]he’s shot or blown to dust
[01:33.361]With every day he’s dying
[01:34.861]and getting more out of touch
[01:36.541]And every night he dreams
[01:37.871]he ends the death machine
[01:39.691]And finds a way to run from
[01:41.171]his stranger and this regime
[01:42.861]As morning leaves him choking
[01:44.561]and full of grief
[01:45.510]He’s hoping today will be the day
[01:47.340]that brings him a reprieve
[01:52.950]If only we could find the fortune
[01:55.250]Instead of misfortune
[01:56.900]Would be see it’s out of proportion
[01:59.360]Or have we cut off our feet
[02:01.190]No way to retreat
[02:02.830]In nothing but defeat
[02:04.360]But if we can get us lost
[02:05.859]And try to take it off
[02:07.609]Could we clean up this distortion
[02:09.359]Try to make it soften
[02:11.399]Are we all orphans now
[02:14.429]Have we exhausted now
[02:18.168]And I never loathed a life
[02:23.548]But now I lead this war with me
[02:42.408]I suspect my calm’s Manchurian in nature
[02:45.818]Just a matter of some time
[02:47.508]before she makes me waste ‘em
[02:49.298]Yet I possess no fury toward this stranger
[02:52.437]No I just feel allured by coming danger
[02:55.377]Change her I wouldn’t
[02:57.356]I want to ride the current of her storm
[02:59.786]Nourish on her sword
[03:01.316]And let my soul absorb
[03:03.316]And he of pure mind,
[03:04.816]let him to me accord
[03:06.116]Benevolence to ward off temptation
[03:08.194]that I have stored
[03:09.794]Cuz lord knows the craving in me grows
[03:12.583]With every step I took
[03:13.713]I knew the devil in me rose
[03:15.843]Waiting on a precipice so delicately posed
[03:18.963]A long and lovely fall no will
[03:20.573]or fire can oppose
[03:22.672]But the beauty of her form brings violence
[03:25.892]And I succumb to dancing with this Siren
[03:29.122]And I can feel the weight of this unload
[03:31.712]Perception has been altered now
[03:33.322]I see what she’s bestowed
[03:34.962]The wrath in me explodes
[03:36.382]and the sins of men are found
[03:38.182]The power of her sound reveals
[03:39.492]malevolence abound
[03:41.762]To he who sees no heaven
[03:43.352]amongst the clouds
[03:44.592]The reckoning is coming,
[03:45.712]get ready for buried ground
[03:48.021]Yet I can feel such impurity within
[03:51.320]I must expel the fiend
[03:52.580]and let its hole cave in
[03:54.530]And so to singe this evil
[03:55.980]now I pull the pin
[03:57.300]But clutch it to my heart to end
[03:58.960]the journey of my twin
[04:13.771]If only we could find the fortune
[04:16.151]Instead of misfortune
[04:17.811]Would be see it’s out of proportion
[04:20.191]Or have we cut off our feet
[04:22.051]No way to retreat
[04:23.661]In nothing but defeat
[04:25.161]But if we can get us lost
[04:26.650]And try to take it off
[04:28.360]Could we clean up this distortion
[04:30.230]Try to make it soften
[04:32.200]Are we all orphans now
[04:35.249]Have we exhausted now
[04:38.958]And I never loathed a life
[04:44.328]But now I lead this war with me
