To thee I give my only love To thee I give my all To thee I leave in flight my love to thwart the cannon’s ball. The ball is black and filled with death It flies the pale of light. It takes from me my ragged breath It takes from me my fight. This war has waged forever love and blood does wash the shore. This war has raged in horrid shove to kill again some more. I hate this time, the hour is nigh to hear the walking wind. This wind so cold, a mourning sigh beyond the forest bend. They came into the dreams of those who found a moments rest. They slit them to their purple toes and deep inside their chest. And when the morn did bring to eyes pale faces lying there. A thousand rose to still their cries and deal death it’s full share. To thee I gave my only love, to thee I left my heart. To thee I flew the heights above I now must thee depart. |
