[Verse 1]
The war wasn't over
Took flight, spitfires on the hill

And I am child
Lost in a world of pretend
Where I tell myself that you've gone to war
So you'll be a hero again
[Chorus]
Take hold and commandeer
I know the end is near
Took bullets to my memories
Struck down by treachery
Take hold and commandeer
I know the end is near
And this will be the death of me
Struck down by treachery
