Every battle has been fought

Each and everyone was lost

Looking back across the years

Count the scars and count the cost

There’s no winner in this war

Yet, the loser lives to tell

Of the good times and the bad

Tales of heaven, tales of hell

For this story’s never ending

And the passion and the laughter

They can wilt like precious flowers

Or the pledge of ever after

So, I will take me to the river

Where the water’s cold as ice

As the church bell tolls forlornly

I will roll the final dice
