Raise Your Weapon


Raise Your Weapon

And in the heat
Of battle
When you look
Down
And see
All the lost
Lying before
You

With your
One
Last breath
The reason
You fought
This battle

And these days
To risk
It all
For back
Home
Loved ones

Because
When you
Come home
You hope
Home is the
Home you left

And
They say
Everyone
Makes it home
They just
Don't
Guarantee
Whether home
Is in a
Wooden Box

But in the
Heat of
Battle
With what's
Left of the courage
Lost or gained
Raise your
Weapon

Because
Back home
There's someone
Worth Fighting
For
Waiting for
You
