Hostilities ended [00:00:06]

Nobody cared [00:00:09]

Any more for the war [00:00:12]

So a truce was declared [00:00:15]

[00:00:18]

So it ends in surrender [00:00:23]

Then there's peace at least [00:00:26]

Arms are withdrawn [00:00:30]

And fire is ceased [00:00:32]

To stay in a skirmish [00:00:41]

One needs appetite [00:00:43]

Two need desire to [00:00:47]

Keep up a fight [00:00:50]

But when appetites off [00:00:52]

And desire is gone [00:00:56]

Then the fire is held [00:00:58]

And arms are withdrawn [00:01:02]

When losses and wounds [00:01:10]

Are grievous and gory [00:01:13]

When the battle is pitched [00:01:16]

In the field there is glory [00:01:19]

When hearts just aren't in it [00:01:22]

Retreat leads to rout [00:01:25]

And then arms are laid down [00:01:28]

And the fire goes out [00:01:31]

We remember the ones [00:01:40]

Who run out of dumb luck [00:01:42]

Monuments are erected [00:01:46]

And statutes are struck [00:01:49]

But we tend to forget [00:01:52]

If and when we forgive [00:01:56]

That survivors survive [00:01:59]

But they never quite live [00:02:02]

As for our own war [00:02:10]

Yes I recall now [00:02:12]

Just what it was like [00:02:16]

Our own personal hell [00:02:18]

I've forgotten the good times [00:02:22]

Heaven's so vague [00:02:25]

I remember the battles [00:02:28]

Oh how they raged [00:02:31]

When losses and wounds [00:02:39]

Are grievous and gory [00:02:42]

When the battle is pitched [00:02:45]

In the field there is glory [00:02:48]

When hearts just aren't in it [00:02:51]

Retreat leads to rout [00:02:54]

And then arms are laid down [00:02:57]

And the fire goes out [00:03:00]

When losses and wounds [00:03:03]

Are grievous and gory [00:03:06]

When the battle is pitched [00:03:10]

In the field there is glory [00:03:13]

When hearts just aren't in it [00:03:16]

Retreat leads to rout [00:03:19]

And then arms are laid down [00:03:22]

And the fire goes out [00:03:25]
