Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Today I killed, he was just a boy

Eight before him, I knew them all

In the fields, a dying oath

I'd kill them all to save my own

[Verse 2]

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no

One by one, we will fall, down down

Pull the plug, end the pain, run and fight for life

Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

[Verse 3]

Deliver me from this war

It's not for me, it's because of you

Devils instant my eternity

Obey to kill to save yourself

[Verse 4]

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no

One by one, we will fall, down down

Pull the plug, end the pain, run and fight for life

Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

[Verse 5]

I envy the nine lives that gave me hell

My path made up by their torn bodies

Man to man, soldier to soldier, dust to dust

Call me a coward but I can't take it anymore

[Verse 6]

They wait for me far back home

The live with eyes turned away

They were the first ones to see

They are the last ones to bleed

[Verse 7]

The ultimate high as all beautiful dies

A rulers tool, a priest excuse, a tyrants delight

I alone, the great white hunter

I'll march till the dawn brings me rest

10th patriot at the gallows pole

[Verse 8]

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no

One by one, we will fall, down down

Pull the plug, end the pain, run and fight for life

Hold on tight, this ain't my fight

[Verse 9]

Cut me free, bleed with me, oh no

One by one, we will fall, down down

Pull the plug, end the pain, run and fight for life

Hold on tight, this ain't my fight
