Drowned in my old war
Salvation flows like water out of my hands
It’s easier lying on the floor
I made sure my body was sore
Bloodying each other in dim lands
Drowned in my old war
I cannot escape the scenes of gore
Grasping for weak strands
It’s easier lying on the floor
My life would be clean - you swore
Stow away my new plans
Drowned in my old war
