When you leave this world The chains undone and death unfurls What were the choices you had? The paths you took - good or bad Reflections of you - You're fighting a shadow A chip on your shoulder Nail in your heart got you colder Your hands made for caress Fists of anger fear and distress Rites of war - conflict deep inside Rites of war - traveled, short or far Rites of war - fighting, run or hide Rites of war - running, from afar Your steps filled with regret Who you were and who you met Did love rule your world? Walk all alone, solidarity unfurled
