The battle is won, the war is lost
And at what cost?
The heart of a boy
Only built to destroy
No matter what he tried
He tried
No matter who was right
Who was right?
No matter if he lied
He lied
No matter, there was a fight
There was a fight
And his war raged on and on
Lovers present and lovers gone
The battle is won, and the tears pour on
A wounded heart, a wounded soul
All alone in no man’s land
The enemy, strong, took its toll
Left his friends to disband
The girl in his pocket can’t save him now
From these hellish sights and hellish sounds
The battle is won, but the war is lost
And at what cost?
The heart of a boy
Only made to love and destroy

The battle is won, the war is lost
And at what cost?
The heart of a boy
Only built to destroy
No matter what he tried
He tried
No matter who was right
Who was right?
No matter if he lied
He lied
No matter, there was a fight
There was a fight
And his war raged on and on
Lovers present and lovers gone
The battle is won, and the tears pour on
A wounded heart, a wounded soul
All alone in no man’s land
The enemy, strong, took its toll
Left his friends to disband
The girl in his pocket can’t save him now
From these hellish sights and hellish sounds
The battle is won, but the war is lost
And at what cost?
The heart of a boy
Only made to love and destroy
