Letra de The Deserter's Song
Skies black, cold and vacant now I sat on the hillside The stars up above me Like pinholes in velvet I listened to the song That I hoped I'd never hearAnd off behind me Guns snap like insects We're fighting for causes We don't really fathom But we'll charge ahead Bloodied hands feed the flamesTheir guns all rain down Say your prayers, fall and run This is do or die this time Raise your fist, give 'em hell boys Let's make them wish they'd never livedMy eyes locked with a boy on the other side Hands dropped, he stood defenseless But he wasn't frightened His face was accepting But I couldn't pull I couldn't pull, I couldn't pullAnd I could see it clear To fall was not my fear To make one fall wasAnd the chaos returned, I backed into the trees Left my guns on the ground, wiped the mud from my knees And I knew in my heart that my old life was gone That in walking away, my name was undone So I might as well runParts and bones and strings of secrets cut the ties that bind me I might dream myself as king, but I ain't made for ruling Just live another day, and I can find another way Just live another day, and I can find another way Just live another day, and I can find another way
