All I Want Is a War

I keep my distance from the flags and the scrolls,
I keep my own ledger and I keep my own score,
But lately my compass is drifting from shore,
And I don't know victory from loss anymore,

All I want is a war,
To keep me safe from it all,
All I need is a sense of,
The world I hold and who I'm fighting for,

And I see the warriors as they plunder and fall,
While aching believers make sense of it all,
And under the cover of chaos and ruin,
Men make their histories from the crown to the tomb,

All I want is a war,
To keep me safe from it all,
All I need is a sense of,
The world I hold and who I'm fighting for,

If I fight for you will you fight for me,
If I draw blood will you bleed with me, tell me,
If I choose to charge will you trail my lead,
And in my heart will you beat with me, tell me,

When all I want is a war,
To keep me safe from it all,
All I need is a sense of,
The world I hold and who I'm fighting for.
