Battle Scar

All of these battles that we've all lost
refuse to release us from love's eternal war
The fight is waged despite the cost
and onward into pain we explore.

You can have a prisoner on her raw knees
and extract all that she possesses within
She will offer her eye and all that it sees
just to be freed to do it all over once again.

You can hang a man and take out his heart--
he will endure most any torture and survive
He will suffer and watch as the world falls apart;
into a sea of pain for love he will dive.

All these battles that we've all lost
refuse to release us from love's eternal war
The fight is waged despite the cost
and its scar leaves us always wanting more.
