Battle Scars

There's no path to follow

There's no path to follow

There's a line in the sand

Put there by a man

By a man whose children who built the castles made of stone

There's a man in the sky

Giving reasons why

That line grows deeper like these shackles round our bones

Move on to my own

Here come battle scars

It's the final charge

Here come battle scars

There's a child born

To a land of scorn

Sneaks past the borders and the lords that hold his hand

He was led like a lamb

All part of the plan

This castle crumbles as he walks out of this land

Move on to my own

Here come battle scars

It's the final charge

Here come battle scars

This is what we own

Here come battle scars

This is where we are

Here come battle scars

There's no path to follow

There's no path to follow

There's no path to follow

Living for the reasons

Of the dead that moved to

Paper from their heads

Into my fingers

And my deadly view is

Strangled by the rent

I have no purpose in this land

Have I forgotten how to stand up

With the humor and the need

I've got to find a way to be

I just turn up the stereo

I can't survive without the cold

This culture's fallen off its feet

I've got to find a brand new beat

Beat (beat) beat

Beat (beat) beat

Beat (beat) beat

There's a road ahead

'Tween the live and dead

Church bells are ringing like the panic in my head

Step, step, one by one

Walk into the setting sun

Water's rising, rising fast

History catching up at last

Danger ahead, death behind

No one to follow but old man time

Time, time, take us back before the line was drawn

Before the sky turned black
