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 hear

And 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 flames

Their 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 lived

My 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 pull

And I could see it clear
To fall was not my fear
To make one fall was

And 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 run

Parts 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 [3x]
