The great war
[00:01.80] My knuckles were bruised like violets
[00:07.14] Sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked
[00:11.93] Spineless in my tomb of silence
[00:16.97] Tore your banners down, took the battle underground
[00:22.01] And maybe it was ego swinging
[00:27.06] Maybe it was her
[00:31.84] Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
[00:40.34] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[00:43.00] Uh-huh, sweet dream was over
[00:45.68] My hand was the one you reached for
[00:48.87] All throughout the Great War
[00:51.27] Always remember
[00:53.12] Uh-huh, tears on the letter
[00:55.77] I vowed not to cry anymore
[00:58.70] If we survived the Great War
[01:02.16] You drew up some good faith treaties
[01:06.93] I drew curtains closed, drank my poison all alone
[01:11.91] You said I have to trust more freely
[01:16.69] But diesel is desire, you were playin' with fire
[01:22.00] And maybe it's the past that's talkin'
[01:27.04] Screamin' from the crypt
[01:31.88] Tellin' me to punish you for things you never did
[01:38.51] So I justified it
[01:40.10] All that bloodshed, crimson clover
[01:43.03] Uh-huh, the bombs were close and
[01:45.68] My hand was the one you reached for
[01:49.13] All throughout the Great War
[01:51.28] Always remember
[01:52.87] Uh-huh, the burning embers
[01:55.53] I vowed not to fight anymore
[01:58.71] If we survived the Great War
[02:03.26] Uh-huh
[02:05.65] Uh-huh
[02:11.95] It turned into something bigger
[02:17.01] Somewhere in the haze, got a sense I'd been betrayed
[02:21.78] Your finger on my hair pin triggers
[02:26.01] Soldier down on that icy ground
[02:27.88] Looked up at me with honor and truth
[02:31.64] Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
[02:37.50] That was the night I nearly lost you
[02:43.37] I really thought I lost you
[02:54.04] We can plant a memory garden
[02:59.35] Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair
[03:04.40] There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair
[03:10.25] And we will never go back
[03:12.64] To that bloodshed, crimson clover
[03:15.55] Uh-huh, the worst was over
[03:17.95] My hand was the one you reached for
[03:21.15] All throughout the Great War
[03:23.80] Always remember
[03:25.66] Uh-huh, we're burned for better
[03:28.07] I vowed I would always be yours
[03:30.99] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:35.24] Uh-huh
[03:38.04] Uh-huh
[03:38.74] I would always be yours
[03:41.13] 'Cause we survived the Great War
[03:45.64] Uh-huh
[03:47.44] I vowed I would always be yours
