The Lull Of War lyrics

For most it is a horror

Traumatic and unvoiced

Because its dilemma made

Is comparision to home

Said as back in the world

A place full of rules and norms

Where judgments are trivial

Bountiful for living in peace

So many expectations

Commitments so important

That make the mundane

A little more bearable

But in warfare they are few

Most important to stay alive

At least for a while

For others, for self

A place where carnage reigns

In a land of unknowns

Where there is only today

No guarantees for tomorrow

The pain, it goes away

The only curse worse than it

Is the numbing, aching

Anxiously wishing it to end

It is a dark and austere cloak

That drapes over the land

A canopy to hide from God

The slain and bloody hands

There is no plan to retire

Only to gain repose in earth

Its muting soil deafening

The clamour of conflict

Here is the pension gained

Living day to day accursed

Knowing one will be the last

Praying it comes quick

There is no place now

In a world that turned on

The pages have changed

The book now read is closed

So then now consider this

A plea to comprehend

Why if we do come back

There is only time to return

Comrades, look not back

Walk the path of living light

A trail of hope unceasing

Death can await its time
