The End of the War

I'm on my way
 When winter comes
 I'll be okay again
 So quiet here
 And no more tears
 Just bloody memories
 I survived the famous fall
 Our injuries explain it all
 Empty shells on the beach like poems
 Cowards lie down in the tall grass
 Waiting for the battles to pass
 They'll do anything to save themselves
 You sent someone to fight for you
 But no one fought for me
 I advanced into the fray
 To kill the sorrow and the pain
 I was tired and so hungry
 At the end of the story
 Now I'm building strength
 I paid such a price to be free
