Two Halves

[Verse 1]
Shadows stretch over the mountain's face, histories clash in a perilous race,
North and South, in fervent fight, sparks ignite through the cold night,
Heroes rise and fall like the tide, soldiers caught in the raging stride,
American and British, Russian and Chinese, all caught in the wildfire's arms.

[Chorus]
When all the dust settles and the bullets cease, just echoes of a bitter peace,
The war ended where it all begun, beneath the same old sun, under the same sky, undone.

[Verse 2]
Frozen trenches marked by tears, whispered hopes and shattered fears,
Fighting in the name of a dream, or just to silence the scream,
Fortunes lost in the smoke and rust, lives bought with heavy cost,
From Seoul’s bright lights to the icy plains, longing for peace, feeling the pains.

[Bridge]
History’s mirror shows a scar, stories of who we are,
In the silence, there’s a hope, a chance to cope,
For the children who wait, for the hand of fate, to change the course,
A world that learns from the fight, seeks the dawn after the night.

[Chorus]
When all the dust settles and the bullets cease, just echoes of a bitter peace,
The war ended where it all begun, beneath the same old sun, under the same sky, undone.

[Final Chorus]
When all the dust settles and the bullets cease, just echoes of a bitter peace,
The war ended where it all begun, beneath the same old sun, under the same sky, undone.
