Mercenary Man

Mama take a look at your boy
Face a man without a soul
He is standing in the doorway
I'll be gone
Before the night is over
I have to go
Have to run to the border
Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words I lost communication
All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind
Leave it all behind
Mama keep the faith it's alright
Your boy's a mercenary man
A soldier made of steel
A shotgun rings
The wind is calling my name
Fields of gold
Beneath a blood red sky
Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words, lost communication
All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind
Just before we leave it all behind
All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind
Just before we leave it all behind
