A Day to Fight

Another sleepless night,
Feel the tears upon my face,
Another battle to fight,
See the blood upon the lace
Of another girl
Who must have once been so free
In another world
Where the horrors cannot reach

As I leave my bed,
I know it will soon be dawn
And I'll rouse the men
For another day to mourn
But first I sit
A man who once was free
But now a prisoner
To a master who won't let me be

And its a day to fight
For our souls, for our very lives
And the screams of mine
Haunt me in my dreams and its why I can't sleep at night

Put on my helm
To protect me from the storm
That lashes out, clashes out
I'll be lost within its call
The soldiers stir,
The dread upon their faces
They know the nightmare comes
And soon the players must take their places

And its a day to fight
For our souls, for our very lives
And the screams of mine
Haunt me in my dreams and its why I can't sleep at night

Then they come,
A line of black upon the ridge
We fight the urge to run
Hoist our pennants to the wind
Then each man turns
His thoughts towards those gone
And the hatred comes
We all join as one in our battle song

And its a day to fight
For our souls, for our very lives
And the screams of mine
Haunt me in my dreams and its why I can't sleep at night

Bridge:
You want to run, you want to hide
But nothing you can do can hide the sight
You want to flee, you don't want to be
As you live your dreams its why you can't sleep at night

The sound of flesh
Being torn from its home
The screams of men:
You're only glad its not your own,
But you press on,
The price of loss is too great
I wonder if
Our enemy just fears the same fate

And its a day to fight
For our souls, for our very lives
And the screams of mine
Haunt me in my dreams and its why I can't sleep at night

And its a day to fight
For our souls, for our very lives
And the screams of mine
Haunt me in my dreams and its why I can't sleep at night
