"The Battleground"

Help me see the truth in this
As the things I know begin to change
Through the highs and lows, my weakness shows
My comfort's seen its end of days

The empty thrills and dull attractions
The candy-coated sugar rush
Rebuilding a heart with missing parts
Is already hard enough

To say you suffered so I wouldn't have to
Well, that's only a half truth

[chorus]
I'm a part of this now
There's no backing out
Signed up for the war you're waging
Against the broken world around me
I'm not backing down
Though the fire is all around
I'll listen for your voice
To guide me through the battleground

My eyes grow heavy in the garden
The night is just as heavy too
When men with swords come to make their war
Will I be awake to fight for you?

To say you died so I wouldn't have to
Well, that's only a half truth

[chorus]
I'm a part of this now
There's no backing out
Signed up for the war you're waging
Against the broken world around me
I'm not backing down
Though the fire is all around
I'll listen for your voice
To guide me through the battleground

This life, this life
This life's a battlefield
Strip down, these walls
Awake the dead and make me real

Equip me with the things I need
Through patience and long suffering
Clinging to your side
I know that hope will never disappoint me
