Havoc

By Christopher Murphy

The Day is won,

But the war is far from over

You’ve moved on

While I’m still getting sober

Day in and out we fight,

How do you sleep at night

Got to find a way

To make it though

Another endless day!

Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war,

What, the hell are we fighting for

You shy away from sin,

Fail to see the beast within

And Cry HAVOC!

An apology is what’s expected

Past memories are resurrected

Times when we were one

Are so long now said and done

You through it all away without a second thought

Left me in the gutter to sit alone and rot

But you’ll get yours I can feel it within

You’ve gone off to battle in a war you cannot win

Cry havoc, and let slip the does of war

Tired, don’t want to fight you anymore

You tried to outrun your sin

Now you’ve seen the beast within

And cry HAVOC!

Try to come back someday

See how fast I turn away

You had your chance, now it’s gone

Just like you I’ve moved on

Cry Havoc, and let slip the dogs of war

I won’t fight this anymore

You’ll live with all your sins

Now you know the beast within

And cry HAVOC!
