[Verse 1]
The fields are quiet
The crows all fled
Shadows stretch where the living bled
The dirt remembers
Though the grass forgets
A hundred wars
And I’ve no regrets
[Chorus]
But I’m tired now
Oh
I’m tired now
Lay down the blade
I’ll take my vow
No more blood
No more fire
No more sound
I’m tired now
Oh
I’m tired now
[Verse 2]
The river runs black
The moon won’t rise
I see my face in a stranger’s eyes
The scars
They tell a story old
But my heart’s grown hollow
My blood runs cold
[Prechorus]
Can I be forgiven? Can I find peace?
The haunting grows; it will not cease
[Chorus]
And I’m tired now
Oh
I’m tired now
Lay down the blade
I’ll take my vow
No more blood
No more fire
No more sound
I’m tired now
Oh
I’m tired now
[Bridge]
The wind hums low
A mournful hymn
The ghosts
They dance on the forest’s rim
If I close my eyes
Will they fade away?
Or will they linger ‘til my dying day?
