The land was then young, I was fighting for it like everyone
Em G
Ready to die for the cause, for my King, for my Lord
Em G
You were my reason to live, to fight another day
Em G
You were the only one for me, and you were only for me
F G Am
Another year I would be gone
F G Am
The war was leading us so far apart
F G A#
I built a house to keep you there
C D# F
Waiting for me, waiting
G Em A D
No one remembers my face nor my name
G Em A
In a dream, I'd stay here forever
G Em Bm D
Headstone on my grave, words carved in vain
G Em
All these wounds only heal when I'm home
Em G
The Taste of their blood in my mouth, and the scent of victory
Em G
Scarred my soul for life, this man was not me
Em G
Love is a game for the weak to play, they said
I loved and love made me many times stronger
F G Am
Another year I would be gone
F G Am
The war was leading us so far apart

'Everything ends...Everything dies
Bm
Now I know the Legends only lived in his lies'
Em Bm G A
My long and winding road, river and trees by the hills we lived on
Em Bm G A
The ruins of my life I find, a signet ring on the ashes
Em Bm G A
I know my Lord betrayed me, my reason to live was taken away
Em Bm G A
I carry my loved one to the hills we loved, for the last time
G Bm
I close your eyes, kiss you goodbye
G D
The only one who ever loved me
G Bm G D
I'm crushed inside, darling, my life...It shall end here
