The Great War Lyrics

My knuckles were bruised like violets
Suckerpunching walls, cursed you as I sleep talked
Spineless in my tomb of silence
Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
And maybe it was ego swinging
Baby, it was her
Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur

All that blood shed, crimson and clover
Uhum, sweet dream was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uhum, tears on the lettеr
I vow not to cry anymore
If we survive thе Great War

You drew up some good faith treaties
I drew curtains close, drank my poison all alone
You said I have to trust more freely
But diesel is desire, you were playing with fire
And maybe it's the past that's talking
Screaming from a crypt
Telling me to punish you for things you never did
So I justified it

All that blood shed, crimson and clover
Uhum, the bombs were close
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uhum, the burning embers
I vow not to cry anymore
If we survive the Great War
Uhum, uhum

It turned into something bigger
Somewhere in the haze got a sense I've been betrayed
Your finger up my hair, pent trigger
Sold you down on that icy crown, you looked up at me with honor and truth
Broken and blue, so I called off the truce
That was the momemnt I knew I lost you
I really thought I lost you
We can't plant a mermaid garden
Say a solen prayer, place a puppy in my hair
There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
And we will never go back

To that blood shed, crimson and clover
Uhum, the worst was over
My hand was the one you reached for
All throughout the Great War
Always remember
Uhum, we burn for better
I vow I will always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War
Uhum, uhum
I will always be yours
'Cause we survived the Great War
Uhum
I vow I will always be yours
