For the One I Lost

A life from nothing
A construct in the stream
Of all the parallels
Existing only here
There's life after this
When the mission's complete
When all is set right
And I won't have to leave

An angel of the trenches
Caring for the wounded
In a war that never was
Yesterday, so long ago
A lifetime together
Gone in an instant
I'd trade all the battles won
For the one I lost

All is lost in the boundaries of time
Infinite streams within realities flow
If it never existed why can't I forget?
Memories of nothing still burn just the same

A night far removed
From the horror and pain
No world now but us
With all the time is ours
But she was not mine
Just a ghost from the void
And my mission here
Helped set the angel free

An angel of the trenches
Caring for the wounded
In a war that never was
Yesterday, so long ago
A lifetime together
Gone in an instant
I'd trade all the battles won
For the one I lost
For the one I lost
For the one I lost
