The battle and the war

Those moments, when you the see the mass rise,
Far and few, preceded by pain
Pain beyond endurance
The desperation and then the choice
You find that reason to choose
And swear your life to it
The battle rages on
You lose time, you lose life
But the choice is made
You cry, you fight
You lose, you fight
You hate, you fight
You see death, you fight
Cos there’s light within
In the form of hope
In the form of love
In the form of need
And then the song begins
The darkness shifts
The light spreads around you
It’s like the dream you had
The dream which saw you through the pain
The air is fresh, the smiles are true
Your mind and your soul, they look up to you
And you close your eyes
In the arms of your beloved
The choice was right
The deed is done
