A soldier's burden

Tie my travel bags. I´m shipping out. Mary, kiss me on the mouth.
A soldier fights his sorrows, fears, & doubts before he even sees the battleground.
A soldier shares his sadness with the badlands and the gun.
Our march is never ending ´til the war is lost or won so
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill
´cos we´ll always have the blood to spill - to fire our guns at will.
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill - then kill.
You know i got the blood to spill so fire your guns at will.
We fire our guns to kill.
If i should not return don´t seek my grave. we´ll meet again come judgement day.
Believe i shed no blood or fought in vain. oh, i only pray to see your face.
Light the fuse to fire me from a cannon with a cry.
There ain´t no way to win a war if someone doesn´t die so
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill
´cos we´ll always have the blood to spill - to fire our guns at will.
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill - then kill.
You know i got the blood to spill so fire your guns at will.
We fire our guns to kill.
I knew there´d never be no warning. there´s just a bullet burning in my side.
So i say farewell to the soldier´s burden but even in death my ghost can´t rest while we still fight.
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill.
´cos we´ll always have the blood to spill - to fire our guns at will.
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill - then kill.
You know i got the blood to spill so fire your guns at will.
