Merciless Wind
Love's Sacrifice: A Tale of Courage in the Merciless Wind
Lyrics
He was a shy one
Describing a reserved or introverted person
And she told a lie once to give him the courage to go
She once fabricated a lie to encourage him
She said that she loved him and the good lord above him
Claimed love for him and invoked divine support
Would see that he found his way home
Believed that God would guide him back home
He went off to war and she thought no more of him
After he left for war, she didn't dwell on him
Or all of the things that she'd said
Didn't think much about her previous words
A taste for the blood in the rain and the mud
Developed a penchant for violence and war's harshness
Something changed in his heart and his head
His perspective and emotions underwent a change
And he did it for her when he piled up the dead
He engaged in war's brutality for her sake
She never thought that she'd taken his heart
She never anticipated his emotional investment
She was trying to be just a friend
Wanted to maintain a platonic relationship
Cause boys sent to fight wars need something they'll die for
Men in war need a cause worth sacrificing for
And most never came home again
Most soldiers didn't return home from war
And she figured his fate would be like other men
She assumed his destiny mirrored other soldiers'
But he cut through the enemy like a merciless wind
He became an unstoppable force against the enemy
He got shot down on a cold piece of ground
He was fatally wounded on a cold ground
And he thought of those words when he died
Recalled her words as he faced death
He knew that the little woman waiting back home for him
Realized she was his reason for survival
Was all that had kept him alive
She was the motivation that kept him going
Through the merciless winds and those murderous nights.
Survived harsh conditions and perilous nights
