War Song

As I lay down this gun
As I take off this armor
As I take the helmet off my head one last time

I wonder
I dream
I cry alone
I sing

I tremble
I fear
And I know
It consumed me

I walk back into the world alone
No one to watch my back
No one keep me safe and no one to protect

So I wonder
I dream
I cry alone
I sing

I tremble
I fear
I think
Is this me?

I'm good at destroying now
But it's time to create
I know I've become obsolete

And I wonder
I dream
Can there be
A different me?

I tremble
I fear
And I know
It still consumes me
