Lyrics
Rites Of War
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When you leave this world
The chains undone and death unfurls
What were the choices you had?
The paths you took - good or bad
Reflections of you
You're fighting a shadow
A chip on your shoulder
Nail in your heart got you colder
Your hands made for caress
Fists of anger fear and distress
Reflections of you
You're fighting a shadow
Rites of war
Conflict deep inside
Rites of war
Ttraveled, short or far
Rites of war
Fighting, run or hide
Rites of war
Running, from afar
Your steps filled with regret
Who you were and who you met
Did love rule your world?
Walk all alone, solidarity unfurled
Reflections of you
You're fighting a shadow
Reflections of you
You're fighting a shadow
Rites of war
Conflict deep inside
Rites of war
Traveled, short or far
Rites of war
Fighting, run or hide
Rites of war
Running, from afar
