A Good Man Goes to War

Demons run When a go-od man go-es to war Earth will quake Rivers wi-ill wake to dro-own the shore Is this just a crack on bedroom wall Or a scar on fate of yours? When all stars fade in the darkness, you can hear the call That like a song roams behind your locked up doors There's a raven we all have to face With the fame or in disgrace Whether you are a hell bent or you're a heaven sent Doomsday waits all for the laugh or for lament Through flame and void he walks The sad man with a box Demons run When a go-od man go-es to war Earth will quake Rivers wi-ill wake to dro-own the shore Silence falls Shatteri-ing walls, it fli-es as crow Angels cry When a go-od man sa-ys: "No more" As the shepherd's tale is once told In your heart the drum will sound Without the hope, with no witness and without reward Your virtue waits in extremis to be found Oh, magician dancing with the witch To keep the storm out of reach You still believe that had we but world enough and time The life would cost not so much more, than this rhyme Through flame and void he walks The sad man with a box Demons run When a good man goes to war Earth will quake Rivers will wake to drown the shore Silence falls Shattering walls, it flies as crow Angels cry When a good man says: "No more"
