lyrics

You asked me to go before the world
Unmasked and unguarded to the war
Like a fool, I tried to defy you
But no longer can I fight the will to fight

This is the water we wade through
As we drown in the solitude of war

It's been this way for centuries
And it will be forever more
The only path to victory
Is through war and only through war

This is the water we wade through
As we drown in the solitude of war

I trusted, knowing you'd betray me
And when you did, I was unafraid
Now I watch as faith sustains me
While my enemies quietly invade

This is the water we wade through
As we drown in the solitude of war
As we drown in the solitude of war
