The Great War

My knuckles were bruised like violetsSucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep talkedSpineless in my tomb of silenceTore your banners down, took the battle undergroundAnd maybe it was ego swingingMaybe, it was herFlashes of the battle come back to me in a blurAll that blood shed, crimson cloverUh-huh, sweet dream was overMy hand was the one you reached forAll throughout the Great WarAlways rememberUh-huh, tears on the lеtterI vowed not to cry anymoreIf wе survived the Great WarYou drew up some good faith treatiesI drew curtains closed, drank my poison all aloneYou said I have to trust more freelyBut diesel is desire, you were playing with fireAnd maybe it's the past that's talkingScreaming from a cryptTelling me to punish you for things you never didSo I justified itAll that blood shed, crimson cloverUh-huh, the bombs were close andMy hand was the one you reached forAll throughout the Great WarAlways rememberUh-huh, the burning embersI vowed not to fight anymoreIf we survived the Great WarUh-huh, uh-huhIt turned into something biggerSomewhere in the haze got a sense I'd been betrayedYour finger on my hair pin triggersHold you down on that icy groundLooked up at me with honor and truthBroken and blue, so I called off the troopsThat was the night I nearly lost youI really thought I lost youWe can plant a memory gardenSay a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hairThere's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fairAnd we will never go backTo that bloodshed, crimson cloverUh-huh, the worst was overMy hand was the one you reached forAll throughout the Great WarAlways rememberUh-huh, we burn for betterI vowed I would always be yours'Cause we survived the Great WarUh-huh, uh-huhI would always be yours'Cause we survived the Great WarUh-huhI vowed I would always be yours
