lyrics

Will you come to the soldier
In unforgiving wind
Will you bring fame and fortune
Or cowardice and sin
Would I break your shoulders
Where your wings have been
Or would I sing your song
Wrapped in human skin

I'm walking on the lonely desert paths where you had been
Then I see the soldier walking with a crooked limp
And in the glowing sun I see a strange man faring towards him
He gets to the soldier and takes the last bullet off the wimp

He brought him a trial
Of blood, fear and filth
Ashamed of what he wished for
His wishes were fulfilled
A land of desert drought
A land of darkness pits
A land that no one crossed
For the crimes he commits

I'm walking on the lonely desert paths where you had been
Then I see the soldier walking with a crooked limp
And in the glowing sun I see a strange man faring towards him
He gets to the soldier and takes the last bullet off the wimp

So you came to the soldier
In unforgiving wind
No fame or fortune
But cowardice and sin
I will break your shoulders
Where your wings have been
I will sing your song
Wrapped in human skin
