Throw down the sword, the fight is done and over

We neither lost and neither won

To cast away the fury of the battle

And turn my weary eyes for home

Throw down the sword and leave the glory
A story time can never change
To walk the road, the load I have to carry
A journey's end, a wounded soul
There were times when I stood at death's own door
Only searching for an answer.
