Scars And Shrapnel Wounds

(album: The Saberlight Chronicles - 2022)

How many roads must a man walk to live a different life?
This one's already too much (this one's already too much)
In the twilight here, there's nothing but a galaxy or two
To guide me home beneath the stars, amidst the night

'Cause there's always things that scream at me from the darkness
And there's always, yet more wars left to fight
But I wouldn't change this destiny if you asked me
'Cause isn't destiny just how we choose to live our lives?

All the scars and shrapnel wounds
Well they ache with every movement
And the battles fought for love are getting harder every day
But with just one wish to use
This life would be the one thing
That I'd wish would never end

My heart is beating at a quarter of the speed it used to
I bruised and beat it myself (I bruised and beat it myself)
But it's stronger now and, oh, somehow adrenaline will come
Revitalise these sunken eyes that guide me now

'Cause there's always things that scream at me from the darkness
And there's always, yet more wars left to fight
But I wouldn't change this destiny if you asked me
'Cause isn't destiny just how we choose to live our lives?

All the scars and shrapnel wounds
Well they ache with every movement
And the battles fought for love are getting harder every day
But with just one wish to use
This life would be the one thing
That I'd wish would never end

Though the road is long
And hard will come the storms
I'll remember every second
When I'm old, whoa

All the scars and shrapnel wounds
Well they ache with every movement
And the battles fought for love are getting harder every day
But with just one wish to use
This life would be the one thing
That I'd wish would never end
