Thwarted By a Malign Star

[Verse] Every night these stars shine so bright And I pray for an end to this endless fight Through letters I send, my love travels across the sea To remind you, my dear, you're the reason I breathe Let the war die down, let peace finally find its way So we can hold each other close, forever and a day [Chorus] On the battlefield of this cruel land I hold my pen with a trembling hand Through the smoke and the dust, I see your face The ink spills my heart upon this page But hope whispers, it won't be long Till we're hand in hand, where we belong All is fierce in love and war thwarted by a malign star [Verse] Wrote this letter just to let you know How much I miss you. Can't let go I dream of holding you. Feeling your embrace Hoping that I'll be back with you in our place Every night I pray for my safe return For the war to end, and for our love to burn [Fingerstyle Guitar Solo] [Chorus] On the battlefield of this cruel land I hold my pen with a trembling hand Through the smoke and the dust, I see your face The ink spills my heart upon this page But hope whispers, it won't be long Till we're hand in hand, where we belong All is fierce in love and war thwarted by a malign star
