It's been a war

[Celtacian]

I was a sailing alone in my own smooth white ship of happiness
Escaping wretched souls with small hearts merciless
What I was thinking when I let them catch up to me, I do digress

In a harrowing fight of right and wrong all mixed in a human pot
It's one thing to bite the bullet another when you've been shot
Telling everyone eveything's fine when you know it's not

Tell me again what your fighting for
and I'll tell you again what dying is for
Tell me again what your crying for
and I'll tell you again, brother it's been a war

Demons in their hellbent chariots striving to take me down
they reach for the head of my soul to take a royal crown
a plan of spiritual murder to sink my ship and leave me to drown

But I know that counterattacks come from a heart driven to disgust
with sin's stained nature and it's sickening rust
that sticks on the soul like a rotten crust

Tell me again what your fighting for
and I'll tell you again what dying is for
Tell me again what your crying for
and I'll tell you again, brother it's been a war

I must stand strong upholding his commandments following his creed
even in the cruel troubles, the violent times when I bleed
remembering that who the son sets free is free indeed.
