For My Enemy Lyrics - Into The Wide - Delta Spirit

As we all marched ahead 

In the early hours it began 

Letter in my pocket still unread 

The fire lit, the sky went red 

As we drew near the smell of death 

Treading through the heavy silence left 

I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred 

I was wrong 

Torn up, reborn the way they made me 

It's not long now 

I tried in vain to look away 

From the tragic sight of what remained 

Wiped off the atlas, our birth place 

Those of us who still survived 

Took to the hills before they came 

Me, my knife, and my rifle sat in wait 

I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred 

I was wrong 

Torn up, reborn the way they made me 

It's not long now 

My love letter folded out 

My last chance I did it now 

I began to hear her read aloud 

"don't you fill your heart with hate 

No matter what this world will take 

Our love must not be disgraced." 

I told myself I'd never lift a hand in hatred 

You were right 

Torn up, reborn the way they made me 

It's not long now, it's not long now
