"This War Is Over" lyrics

"This War Is Over"

Take off my shield
Carry my sword
I won't need it anymore
Find me a sky
And give me my wings
Frozen and broken but free

And tell them I'm alright
I'm coming home
Tell them I'm alright
I am alone
This war is over
I'm coming home

Take off my shame
Bury it low
I won't need it anymore
Find me the sun
And give me it whole
Melt all the chains in my soul

And tell them I'm alright
I'm coming home
Tell them I'm alright
I am alone
This war is over
I'm coming home

Take off my pain
Carry me slow
I won't fight here anymore

Tell them I'm alright
I'm coming home
Tell them I'm alright
I am alone
This war is over
I'm coming home

This war is over
This war is over
This war is over
I'm coming home
