								Warrior's Heart |  |  |  
					| "I try to remember to look up at the stars,
 when the day is through
 So, someway, somehow
 I'm coping on my own."
 
 The warrior lives alone
 in a world full of war
 and the last moments
 of the dead...
 
 and the promises
 are never kept.
 
 The night was on fire
 and they died into my eyes
 anyway.
 
 I came home
 and grew old.
 
 "I'm coping on my own."
