The War Outlives ft. Lear

They're whispering in city streets, And calling this a victory

Cause lilies of the valley bloom, On fertile buried bride and groom

But there's a boy worth fighting for, Who's born a decade post the war

And there's a little girl whose hands, Now pray for gods of foreign lands

She'll leave her home, he'll leave his home, They'll leave their home

The war outlives the war

The red and gold of wedding clothes, Are left in attics overgrown

But could it be enough to feel, The silken fabric's old ideal

But no one ever thinks of this, It's only fire, flood, and blitz

The meaning of the word you see, It carries so much more to me

It carries home, she carries home, They carry home
