complacent

a truce

let's make a truce, my friend,
just you and me until the end
and when the night grows so cold
You'll have me to keep you safe, you I'll hold.
Our truce, dear love, goes such as this
if you were to die, know you'd be missed
so stay alive, stay alive for me
you will die, but now your life is free.
So let's make a truce, just you and me
and talk not of deaths to be
keep in your mind that you are loved
and know this is a clean sweep of
all the pain and all the fear
know, that I still love you dear.
let's make a truce, just you and I
for now is not the time to die
hells not ready and heaven not right
so ever press on and continue your fight
while darkness makes your bed,
but not for now and not of red.
so put down your knife, and set down your bow
the archer and carver have other places to go,
the time is nigh for this hellish night to end
so take care of yourself, dear friend.
