[Intro] Quiet dawn Gunmetal sky Coffee gone cold You don’t ask why [Verse 1] Boots by the door Mud over blood on the sole You fold your courage Like a letter in your coat Same old sermon On the news at 6 a.m "Someone has to go" It’s always you again [Chorus] Endless war It eats and it eats and it eats us all Different name But it calls And it calls And it calls We draw lines On maps that we’ll never see Endless war And it’s marching through you and me [Verse 2] Kids on the floor Plastic tanks Cardboard walls Laughing as they Learn the rules of who must fall You keep your stories Locked behind your teeth Every medal in the drawer Feels like another missing piece [Chorus] Endless war It eats and it eats and it eats us all Different name But it calls And it calls And it calls We draw lines On maps that we’ll never see Endless war And it’s marching through you and me [Bridge] How many flags Can cover one grave? (tell me) How many prayers Can rewrite what we gave? If every side Is pleading they were right Why does every mother Sleep alone at night? [Chorus] Endless war It eats and it eats and it eats us all Different name But it calls And it calls And it calls We draw lines On maps that we’ll never see Endless war Till we say "enough" And finally leave it In the ash and iron of our history
