Last Soldier
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
my number's up, my time has come
sounds like they're playin' my song
on the altar, my picture...
will be there while i'm gone
there'll be time for laughin'
there's no time to cry
soon i will be leavin'
look me in the eye
no matter what's in front of me
it's your face that i'll see
and the future of our young ones
yeah this is what fuels me
there's no time for laughin'
there's no time to cry
soon i will be leavin'
look me in the eye
the oath i took not so seriously
the world's gathered steam and caught up with me
and my decision's been made, from some other place
by someone i don't know and they don't know me
this is no time for laughin'
there's no time to cry
soon i will be leavin'
look me in the eye
