Written in honor of the Veterans of this nation and the loved ones they've left behind.
Worlds On Fire
______________________
Theirs was a love eternal
a treasure they'd dearly hold
then came the 'call to arms'
...he knew that he'd go...
...he'd always been told...
...the time would come...
She said "Love,...why must you go
your the one that I've choose"
He said "Darling, I know...
...but the worlds on fire..."
So he took up his weapons
and journeyed 'cross the sea
she'd always write him letters
...begging him "please...
...return to me...
...and hurry, dear"...
He wrote "Love,...I think you know
your the one that I've choose
I'll be true ever more...
...but the world's on fire
...yeah, the world's on fire..."
Cruel is the world we live in
and lovers in war should know
she sat on the floor just weeping
...her fingers let go...
...of the letter they wrote...
...their sympathies...
He'd laid on the battle field
in patches of crimson snow
his last breath, her name he whispered
...and as he let go...
...his eyes were aglow...
...reflections of...
...of a world on fire
...'cause the world's on fire...*
