Spoils of War Year: 1999
Written by Bill Mallonee for CyBrenJoJosh (BMI)
when you can look back on the life
you once tasted
all these days of piss and venom
jealousy and hatred
when the lit fuse of your regrets
chokes and coughs
when the time bomb of misgivings
goes off
when the dust of your heart's battlefield finally settles
ah then you can come and claim this spoil of war
it is risky making moves
upon the innocent
is should know
i used to count myself as one of those
and the tidal wave of lust
who could prevent it
from sweeping out to sea
what was on your shore
i'm unclear
but i never felt protected
i just pulled the trigger once
to even up the score
when the dust of your heart's battlefield has settled
and all you're left with are the spoils of war
Did You Know?
