The War
MêLée Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's so soft, to see the glow from the city up ahead
connect my hert to the rhythm it's lead
straight forward and ready 'cause I'm on my way home
it's so good, to be alive in such a hazardous world
to be alive and see the victory unfurled
I'm anxious and waiting 'cause I'm on my way home

yeah, your war is won (3x)
oh my friend you're finally done.

on that day, you'll find ambitions don't lie here anymore
the one you love has gone and settled the score
what more could you ask for now
it's so good, to be alive in such a wonderful year
to be alive and see the end of your fear
with peace in your ear 'cause you're on your way home

yeah, your war is won (3x)
oh my friend you're finally done.

and all this time
we walk the line through pain
and giving in to you
but now its gone
so we'll move on and know
that this is not the end

on that simple night, when we've all lost our sight, you believevd in what i said
from those cursed beginnings to those blessed blessed ends
in between we've found our way to live






yeah, your war is won (3x)
oh my friend you're finally done. (2x)
