Battlewon

Battle won! Battle won! I found my dignity
The one that I’d lost, the day that I went to war
I don’t need to fight to become the mightest man
The battle front battle front was bloody and diseased
I never should have gone, I should never have left you
My sargent looked down and I ran for the clouds in the ceiling
I’d have stopped and thought before I ran had I known
That my name would look so deathly in the news
My love read it aloud
And through tears looked to the clouds where I was still breathing, breathing
Battle won! Battle won! I found my dignity
The one that I’d lost, the day that I went to war
I don’t need to fight to become the mightiest man
