Born to the Battle Lyrics

Posting this since there is so little appreciation for it. There are no lyrics available online (as far as I know), so I took the liberty to type it down.

Title: Born to the Battle
Sung by: Hadley Fraser
Album: The Far Pavilions
Music by: Philip Henderson, Stephen Clark

No matter what is said to me,
Each love I know is ripped from me,
My pride and honor stripped from me,
All I've loved, ever loved, is dead to me.

This sacred ground where Sita died,
A loved one's made me strong.
Where I was found and tears were cried,
Where else can I belong?

Was it for this my father died?
My mother slaughtered as she ran?
They should have killed me in her arms.
I don't deserve to be alive.

And yet this land has shown me love.
Its very earth is in my blood.
This land that tore my life apart
Has fed my soul and bled my heart.

I made a vow to Anjuli - 
A dream should never die.
I see that now she's dead to me.
I never meant to lie.

Is this the battle I must fight
To survive all the love I've lost?
What more could I lose,
What more is there to lose?

Love, is this all you've left me?
Love, is this all I am?
Love, have you no compassion?
Am I your slave?
Is this __ at my grave?
Love, tell me, where is your heart?

How could she lie there in his arms?
How could she sacrifice her life?
Yet now she's lying in his bead
And all we ever dreamed is dead.
 
Born to the battle, bathed in blood,
I was saved by a mother's love.
But what was it for?
She believed there could be more.

Love, is your heart so callous?
Love, is your heart so cold?
Love, is there no redemption?
Lost to the sands
With my blood on your hands,
Love, tell me, 
Where is your heart?

I've lost too much.
I've lost myself.
What more is there to lose?
