One Man's War


One man's win is another man's war,

One man's love leaves another torn,

One man ends and it begins again,

One man abandons all his friends.

 

It was an uphill climb to here,

One man's hope is another man's fear,

I thought that I had won,

But in a win there's a losing one.

 

There's life and death, Yin and Yang,

But that's an entirely different thing,

One man's view can be seen through his eyes,

Sift through all his mistakes and lies.

 

One man's life leaves another one dead,

A rebel king goes off with his head,

One man's damnation is another's salvation,

One man has the power to change the nation.
