Lose the battle (but don�t you lose the war)

Lose the battle (but don�t you lose the war)

A Poem by TamerQtaish
"

A song for all soldiers!

"

 

Lose the battle (but don’t you lose the war)

 

Blood and oil mixed together

Hate turns on forever

From the raising sun

To the falling sky

For so long until we die

 

Step by step

And we can’t sleep

Step by step

And we are too deep

 

Scraping the rust

It all falls down to dust

Soldiers in the battlefields

Death cuts threw them like weeds

And we don’t even leave any seeds

 

Step by step

And we can’t sleep

Step by step

And we are too deep

 

I see many faces

But I can’t see any smiles

Tell me is this the way

Am I going to die today?

 

I fought too long

Too many

Now I am going

To rest my body

 

Lose the battle

But don’t you lose the war

 

I fought too long

Too many

Now I am going

To rest my body

 

Take their names

Make them numbers

Maybe we will remember

Who they were but not forever

 

Step by step

And we can’t sleep

Step by step

And we are too deep

 

Step by step

Step by step

Step by step

Step by step,
I could imagine those soldiers walking into their deom step by step!
Those lyrics are froma certain time of your life, back then a lot of it bothered you, and you had some abstract way of looking at the bigger picture, that didnt change but you lately have been more personal if you ask me, which is good cause you started to open up!

reminds me of that dream I had, wierd I had an axe and you had the cool sword, whats whith that bro???
