lyrics

Hang me over a rope
Pray to God and tell him "Thanks I've nothing left to beg for"
I wouldn't mind a faded world
But fighting now just isn't worth it when you're on the same boat

And like good soldiers in the movies say:
"It's no surrender"
A call to arms is just a fear we'll pay
Back home you'll all remember
I hope you know while in the freezing cold
I'd keep a fire to fuel your ember
But you won't need me

I didn't see the heavy flow
The currents higher than we thought it was and now we're done for
It's alright, don't cry for the other ones
Just give it time when no one's left then you can feel alone
It's the cold, hard way to make sure

And like good soldiers in the movies say:
"It's no surrender"
A call to arms is just a fear we'll pay
Back home you'll all remember
I hope you know while in the freezing cold
I'd keep a fire to fuel your ember
But you won't need me
