lyrics

The Enemy (war)
For all those suffering because, to someone, they are the enemy
Date written: Friday 13th Oct 2023

VERSE 1
I am looking up the barrel of your gun.
I am a civilian.
Your eyes are bright, your eyes are wide.
I know we are on different sides.

CHORUS 1
I am the enemy,
so you could do anything.

VERSE 2
I am looking up your sightline for your sins / You are looking down your sightline for my sins.
I am your win.
I am kneeling in your shadow on the ground.
I don’t make a sound

CHORUS 2
‘cause I am the enemy,
so you could do anything.

VERSE 3
I am looking down the barrel of my gun.
You are a civilian.
Your eyes are bright, your eyes are wide.
I know we are on different sides.

CHORUS 3
You are the enemy,
You could do anything / so I will do anything.

VERSE 4
I am looking at the sightline for my sins / You are looking up my sightline for my sins.
You are my win.
For all you’ve done and all you will
and all you have / could, and all you would do still.

CHORUS 4
You are the enemy
so I will do anything.
You are the enemy.
Look what you’ve done to me.

BRIDGE
Save me from this cruelty.
Save me from the enemy.

CHORUS 5
You are the enemy
so you could do anything
