Once more
We reach
Once more
We fail

Once more
We grief
Once more
We hail

Once more, once more again
We tread
Into the abysmal fiery rain
And surely, we bled

Once more, just once more
We shall prevail
And all the hurt before
Shall not tip the scale

Once more, we’ll find
The victory’s bliss
Once more, we’ll leave the man behind
For the promise of a kiss

Once more lady justice’s scales
Will weigh our deeds
Once they’ll tell our tales
When our graves are covered with weeds

And they will romanticize
And they will idolize
And they will think ignorant is wise
We who stooped low, and did not rise

Once we knew virtue
Once we weren’t flawed
Once we knew what was true
Now we know, in war there is no god
