Again as I go
Off to this never ending war
My life comes crashing down Bringing me back where I was before
The family I leave
behind at the gates waiting for me to return
to show God's grace
I've always been taught
to be
selfless and generous
even with my life
but how can you tell someone that
when
they have a family and a wife

"You'll drown in your sorrows
and you'll die tomorrow"
A lesson from my child hood but could it be true
on this battlefield of youth
I think I need to leave this
life behind

So tell me where to go
Tell me how to learn to cope
I've left behind my life, my
treasures
and watched my funeral from heaven's slopes
A knight of the round table once so generous with his life
I finally realize
It wasn't worth my death that
night.
