Aftermath (Purple Heart)

LYRICS:

Courage, it is a mix of many things and when amalgamated, it will rise or it will fall
Generosity, it is a virtue and a vice, of this I have been learned, more than once and more than twice
And in the aftermath of all this daring, artful dodge, where the race is run and lost or won, no matter what the cost, till the deal is done

Loyalty, it is a place of many tears and many torrents, I have more than been told
And honesty, it is a triumph and a truce, where the dark and winding river meets the rough and tumble truth
And in the aftermath of all these faces and these eyes, to trade the focus for the pupil, the vision for the sight
In the aftermath of all this daring, artful dodge, where the race is run and lost or won, no matter what the cost, till the deal is done

Wisdom, is a devotion to the senses that temper and define the realms and essence of divine
Compassion, it is a many colored flame whose light is casting always the fire and the rain
And in the aftermath of all this honor and this pride, where the road runs ever always steep and the heart runs ever ocean deep
And in the aftermath of all these faces and these eyes, to trade the focus for the pupil, the vision for the sight
In the aftermath of all this daring, artful dodge, where the race is run and lost or won, no matter what the cost, till the deal is done

Courage, it is a mix of many things and when amalgamated, may it rise and never fall
