The clouds are grey, and the ocean’s crashing against the shore
It’s been raining for days; I’ve been losing myself in the downpour
The thunder’s rolling, beating like a drum to signal the oncoming war
I’ve been marching through the trenches; I’ve been shaken to the core
I look to the sky; ask myself what it is that I’ve been fighting for
Because since I’ve lost you nothing else really matters anymore
I’ve given up everything, nothing but an emptiness I’m trying to ignore
I know when this is all over I’ll be broken and ravaged and sore
But I’ll still stand tall, rise above all the blood and the gore
I’ll kiss away the pain, remind myself that I’ve been here before
Made a promise to myself, one that I’d never break, and I swore
Someday I’ll make it back to the shore.
