The world's at war, revolving door,
cll hands on deck to save the rest,
She's afraid he won't stay,
He hears the call and signs it all,
So they embrace as tight as a fist,
They grip and kiss as if this is it,
the last time they say goodbye,
Don't go, she said,
without you love I just can't,
You're what I'm fighting for,
he said as he walked out the door,
Fade to black as the months pass,

Dearest love I can't describe
the horrors of war,
won't even try,
On the western front we're all afraid,
I just want to hold you again someday,
Haven't slept in God knows how long,
Like I'm in a dream that's all gone wrong,
I keep your picture in my helmet,

My love hold on, she wrote,
swear to me, come home,
It kills me to know you're hurting and all alone,
Fade to black as the months pass,

His body grew weathered,
sunken eyes tethered,
to the moon hoping she was staring too,
stinging sensation in his side,
began to grow colder than the night,
closed his eyes,
he was fine,
he's coming home and not alone,
but in box with a flag on top,

war, what's it for,
war, what's it for.
