Vanguard

Is it even possible to change sides in this fight?
Or is it even worth wondering, or is it just a colossal waste of time?
But that's life and that's alright
it's everyone just trying to stay alive
just trying to stay alive

I guess we're all listening to the same empty lies
that say even if you die
The ones in the back aren't in the songs of the bards
It's the ones with the rushing, gushing blood
in the vanguard

Runaway, runaway, runaway far
There ain't a soul on the battlefield who knows who you are
Runaway, runaway, runaway far
Keep on, keep on running until the guilt tears you apart

Everyone's awaiting for their chance to charge the lines
Thinking that the glory is just on the other side
But that's life, but let's apply
that thinking to all the other times
to all the other times

I don't have the skill to think that I can match
I don't want to kill, so I'll settle on a trap
The nerves are a little frayed, so I'll step a little slow
When I don't crash with the tip of the spear
nobody's gonna care, nobody's gonna know
