Battle cry

Don’t feel guilt for your wrong doing

I’ve locked the past away

It won’t cause havoc on my watch

I’ll take up arms everyday

Shame will not defeat it

Yes, you had your part to play

But our home is now in ruin

I’m off to the frontline, you stay

Stranded on no man’s land

I dragged you to safety that day

Now you’re going to desert me

Is that the price I have to pay?

For loving you despite

The battle scars on display

You scream all is fair in love and war

But your words just ricochet
