A fight for inner peace
Striving for better
Wanting, waiting, wishing for a hero
A fight within, turmoil without
Trying to do better, but not knowing how
A sensitive spirit, thin skin, weak flesh
No resolve, lacking mental fortitude
Not sound of body, not sound of mind
Not willing to leave a past life behind
Not willing to compromise, not willing to heed advice
The war eternal rages on

Never to end, never to conclude
Two spirits different as different can be
Two spirits never to see: eye to eye again
Never to be: close together again
Never to be, never to be
The war eternal rages on

A fight for understanding
Looking for meaning
What was was, now is lost
Never to be rekindled, never to be healed
Never to be mended
Never to be, never to be
One soul lost, veering down the wrong path
One soul lost, stubborn as can be
The war eternal rages on

War within, war without
One looking for meaning, striving for better
The other refusing to change
One seeking greatness, looking to be the best they can be
The other wanting things to stay the same
Wallowing in mediocrity, stagnant and unmoving
One seeking knowledge, wanting to know more
The other thinking that they know all
The war eternal rages on

Never to conclude, never to end
Two souls on divergent paths
Stars never to align
Never to be, never to be
Ships passing in the night
Once friends, never again
The war eternal rages on
