The First Snow

We fought for this
We fought for everything we’d known
When the thunder came
We ran back to our empty homes
And waited
Waited for what would never come
Resolution
A sign of hope after all we’d done

They’ll follow you
They’ll follow you to their graves
The rest will live
The rest will live with your mistakes

And then it all
And then it all faded to black
And I didn’t know
I didn’t know if I’d ever come back
And I wondered what
I wondered what it was I’d miss
And whether I
Whether I would be missed

They’ll follow you
They’ll follow you to their deaths
The rest will live
The rest will live with whatever’s left
The first snow
The first snow of the winter
Buried the bones
The flesh and bones of our loved ones
