The stars
Convince me to sin
To stand and win
The battle between me
And the tired wind.

I'm a crusader
Walking on land that is infested
With war and terror
My cracked skin is like the desert
My eyes bloodshot and barely white.

Tonight brings savagery
They all fight for their dear country
And I'm in the mix
Trapped in a pit of despair
Soaked in fear
Stuffing my hands with stones
To break the ribcage of this war
I don't want to sin anymore.

To you I write
A letter of care and thought
To you my love
I might not make it
Take it from me
This world isn't free.
