The First Snow

We fought for this
 We fought for everything we'd known
 When the thunder came
 We ran back to our empty homes
 And waited
 Waited for what would never come
 Resolution
 A sign of hope after all we'd done
 They'll follow you
 They'll follow you to their graves
 The rest will live
 The rest will live with your mistakes
 And then it all
 And then it all faded to black
 And I didn't know
 I didn't know if I'd ever come back
 And I wondered what
 I wondered what it was I'd miss
 And whether I
 Whether I would be missed
 They'll follow you
 They'll follow you to their deaths
 The rest will live
 The rest will live with whatever's left
 The first snow
 The first snow of the winter
 Buried the bones
 The flesh and bones of our loved ones
