Soldier: Fall Hard, Live and Die

55 20 6
                                    

Fall hard,

Drag me down--

No matter what I face,

I feel so small.

Let me know the struggle ends.


Send out an army;

Pull out the fighter,

I heard you say.

What's death without a cost?

Call for a ceasefire.


Now, I'm bulletproof;

I can feel it coming

With the very next words.

My breath,

Keep singing.


Surrender--

It's burning deep inside,

More than ever before.

Keep on running,

We cry.


And though my heart is torn,

I find rest

In this worn and weary land.

Rise up from the grave

And live and die.


We gotta soldier on.
