Song of Sacrifice Songtext

von Scythian

Feel the clock beat on your back
As you pack your bag
You wonder if your sanity
Is something you ever had

And you wonder how the darkness
Panting at your door
Could drive a man to turn his back
And run for other shores

Pull your coat around your throat
But you just can't fight them back
The guns, the tears, the whistling fears
As the future fades to black

And the things you love begin to fade
Though you try to hold on
As you grip the sands with aging hands
Til all that's left is gone

When you can't go home
No matter what you say
Can't go home
They've gone and took it all away
Can't go home
To taste the dirt is what I yearn
For the ones who've gone, let's sing a song
Never to return

Think on friends and families
And you wonder how they fared
Torn apart forever
By the things you'll never share

Feel the sweat roll down your neck
As you bend from the toil
From white to blue, it's what you had to do
For a grave on foreign soil

Of the things we've lost and the things we've gained
The losses fly off the scale
But it's the things we've lost are what haunt us most
The price of distant prison without bail

When you can't go home
No matter what you say
Can't go home
They've gone and took it all away
Can't go home
To taste the dirt is what I yearn
For the ones who've gone, let's sing a song
Never to return
