You

I would tear down walls for you
Watch as grand monuments crumbled for you
Let chaos and madness reign for you
And hold you close in the ruins.

I would take a life for you
Serve my time and pay the price for you
Hide the body and the secret for you
And never feel remorse.

I would deny my dreams for you
Abandon friend and foe for you
Raise an army for you
The ends of the earth are not enough.

Yet today I can't look at you
I haven't got a smile for you
But please know that though I'm not next to you.
It's for you that I'm staying alive.
