Worth It lyrics

The last one falls beneath my blade The final enemy I've faced I thought I'd hear the cheering sound But there's just silence all around I look for smiles upon their faces But everyone just stands in places Staring at the friends who fell This victory feels like living hell Was it worth it? I should be celebrating now But I feel grief I should be laughing, taking bows But I feel grief I should be dancing in the square But I feel grief I should be thankful we're still here But all I feel is grief I see the bodies on the ground My sister's face among them found My closest friend who stood beside The ones we couldn't keep alive No trumpets play, no banners wave We're just standing near the graves Of everyone we held so dear The price of freedom's all too clear I hear their voices carried on the wind The dreams we shared of how this world could mend We fought for peace, we fought for those to come Today we've won a battle, not all, but one They wouldn't want to see me standing here Consumed by sorrow, paralyzed by fear They gave their lives so others could be free They'd want me to carry on, to be Was it worth it? For you I'll find the strength to smile Yes, it was worth it For you I'll celebrate a while Yes, it was worth it For you I'll dance beneath the Sun Yes, it was worth it For you I'll live what we have won I raise my sword into the sky Not in conquest but goodbye To everyone who fell today I'll live the life you paved the way The grief won't leave but neither will The purpose, love, and iron will To make this world the one we dreamed Where peace is real, not what it seemed
