lyrics

I am out on the frontline. I feel like I'm being herded, and though I dug this grave, I don't think I deserve it. I'm running scared. I know one thing for certain: I'd trade your life to see the sun rise again.
All or nothing, we play for keeps with the highest stakes. One shot, then you're laid to rest. Eyes wide open, face to face with a loaded gun, you felt nothing at the end.
I can't help but wonder, how'd his family deal with the loss? Lately I've been thinking, the life that I've been living wasn't worth the cost.
We write stories of noble heroes, the good vanquish the villains. But life gives us a different version, we all lose in the end.
I'll live with my pivotal decision for the rest of my life. In hindsight, I don't know if it was worth it, to see the sun rise again.
