Too Much Peace
Too much peace after a battlefield full of roses
White roses turned black from the red of our sins
How much more can we lose
Allies that we’ve mistaken as foes, too late do we see their life
Only through their eyes does it flash and we never see the pain
Until their screams torture our minds
And the memories mark our eyes
Tattoos that spirals and the letters fly into symbols
Too much peace after stepping on glass, and I swear there’s a face
That flashes like a horror movie played too soon
Too much peace, like a deathly silence while walking through
A field full of mines
Voices slowly scream in terror and pain
Slow motion
Before the gun goes off
