Many men go off to war
In places near and places far
Many toil in lonely strife
And ponder taking someone's life
Some others thrive, their hearts so cold
While others simply do as told
Some men choose to run away
While others choose to join the fray
These men think themselves so brave
but never see the road they pave
For often battles where you flee
Require greater bravery

Some men choose the war of love
Their goals inspired from above
They engage with all their heart
To try to find a missing part
Some men suffer such a lost
And think of it as such a cost
Some men treat their love as play
And do the switch of what they say
Some men come with faces brave
And simply finish as love's slave
But the brave become so free
They taste the fruits of victory
