War You Know

(album: The Fire Itself - 2021)

Infinite in desolation held from eternity
Into the wind ceaselessly
Extinction tears at every facet of our being
So holdfast, wounds belong to the living

Wear them well and open
A reminder of what was once broken

Fight, until you can't stand up straight
Every sunrise is your final day

Every moment that life feels like hell
Past the stones you tripped over and fell
The worst of you refusing to let go
Don't let it define you: the war you know

Affliction and desperation a brand new low
You're treading water to escape the undertow
Everything exists to keep our lungs
From breathing in and breathing out

The war you know

Every moment that life feels like hell
Past the stones you tripped over and fell
The worst of you refusing to let go
Don't let it define you: the war you know

Blood belongs to the living
Shed for what you've spoken
Steadfast in truth that you have hoped in

Fight, until you can't stand up straight
Every sunrise is your final day

The war you know

Every moment that life feels like hell
Past the stones you tripped over and fell
The worst of you refusing to let go
Don't let it define you: the war you know
The worst of you refusing to let go
Don't let it define you: the war you know

Fight, until you can't stand up straight
Every sunrise is your final day
