What Doesn’t Kill You

Over the wintry forest
The wind howls in rage
With no leaves to blow

We march in solemn silence
As the crow begins to laugh
Makes me wonder what he knows

What doesn't kill you
Makes you stronger they say
But I'm not sure
How much more I can take

White silver crystals
Footsteps in the snow
For what we are fighting
I truly don't know

Counting the days
Until we are sent home
In my cold hand
Your photograph

Gotta stay focused, watch my back
Prepare for the coming attack
For what are we but a sacrificial lamb
Cannon fodder for a richer man
