The Eternal War

—

The battlefield within my mind

Where claret flows, a bitter wine

I’ve fought it seems a thousand years

A futile war amidst the tears

I’ve known the rage and known the pain

I’ve suffered ‘neath your tainted reign

Through Hell and back and there again

I fight the war one cannot win

A fool’s crusade, a killing joke

I sense the shadow in the smoke

A silhouette draws ever near

Now I see you all too clear

Unsheathe your blade now, hold it high

Let me look into your eyes

The devils dance, now let’s begin

We fight the war one cannot win
