Love and War Lyrics

The castle gates were sealed last night; I was stranded beyond the wall

In the dying days of the summer I had given it my all

But a battle-hardened warrior who draws his sword to many a man's cost

Knows by heart the change in the air when the war is lost

In love and war, we can be sure

We lost our king tonight

My greatest fear after all these years

We lost our king tonight

Brother, need I remind you we've been through this before?

Leave the matter to my able hands, and peace will be restored

A ravaged and scattered empire invites war to the gates

For a modicum of unity, I'll do whatever it takes

In love and war, rest assured

I can save our king tonight

Why count the cost before we've lost?

I can save our king tonight

Father, will you hear my pleas?

I come to you on my hands and knees

I know your warmth; I've seen you care

I know there's a man in there

Naïveté is your mistake

This life is more than I can take

This wretched place, if I cannot run

Will crumble today under my thumb

My fire, my passion, gone askew

Sacrificed for the likes of you

No thanks for the heaven in which you live

I have nothing more to give

I lost my mind tonight

We lost our king tonight

We lost our king tonight

We lost our king tonight

We lost our king tonight
