Written in Stone

My dear, I’ve missed the sound of your voice for so long I know I could have called, I was wrong Forgive me, please, that you don’t hear me now You’ve every right to blame me somehow I’ll tell you why it’s hard when I call your name I lose my strength, I’m not the same I’m scared and weak, I can’t explain Because just hearing you makes me go insane I fear the end, I fear I’ll never see your face It’d be so easy to walk this road alone But life gave us these trials, this heavy chase And God has written our fate in stone I won’t back down, I won’t betray the men I’m with The battle’s coming, I’ll stand and fight Maybe I’m not the best husband, I admit But I’ll carry this burden through the darkest night Our fate is sealed in blood, I cannot change the course Please try to understand, I beg you, please I live with your memory, it’s my only source A flame that burns inside, though I’m on my knees In my head there’s only the mission, day and night Who’s to blame that in this war, you’re only in my dreams I haven’t lost my love, I’ve just hidden it from sight Now the war is all I feel, it steals away my screams No thoughts of us, no plans to save what we could be My mind is clear, my focus sharp and true God will help me carry this cross, I know I’ll see The day the war is over, and I’ll finally show you love The war will pass, and then I’ll open up my heart All the feelings I’ve kept locked away so long Please understand, please don’t let this tear us apart Just hold on, I’ll come back, I promise you, I’m strong
