This War Is Over
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.
Take off my shield
carry my sword
i won't need it anymore
find me a sky
give me my wings
frozen and broken but free
CHORUS:
tell them i'm all right
i'm coming home
tell them i'm all right
i am alone
this war is over
i'm coming home
take off my shame
bury it low
i won't need it anymore
find me the sun
give me it whole
melt all the chains in my soul
CHORUS
take off my pain
carry me slow
i won't fight here anymore
CHORUS
