The Deserter

歌詞

Sitting in the trench I was looking for romance Reading in the rain A few letters from my girl Waiting for the next attack With the rifle on the back I was watching in the bag Because all had to be checked Rations, ammunitions Supplied by the nation I was going to betray Sitting in the trench Waiting for the command Trying to deny the fear Browsing some photos of my dears I started watching to the faces Of my fellow soldiers Looking for a bit of hope But everything I saw was Only resignation And hate for the nation I was going to betray I will go away from this decadence 'Cause I'm tired of being a damned Lost in no man's land Everyday I lose a friend Will this ever end? Every night I see his ghost Crying among the dead I'm going to flee so far away From this senseless war 'Cause I'm just a man condemned To die away from home Every day is like a bet With the grim reaper So before my luck runs out I will be a deserter Screaming in the night It was ordered the assault The enemy fire was all around Chasing away the crows I started crawling in the mud and Running in the dark With never looking back Following the path That lead to my salvation So far from the nation I've betrayed with no regrets
