A Soldier’s Burden Lyrics by Brett Detar

Too Free To Live

2013

Tie my travel bags. i’m shipping out
Mary, kiss me on the mouth
A soldier fights his sorrows, fears, & doubts
Before he even sees the battleground
A soldier shares his sadness with the badlands and the gun
Our march is never ending ‘til the war is lost or won so
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill
‘cos we’ll always have the blood to spill - to fire our guns at will
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill - then kill
You know i got the blood to spill so firе your guns at will
We fire our guns to kill
If i should not return don’t seek my gravе
We’ll meet again come judgement day
Believe i shed no blood or fought in vain
Oh, i only pray to see your face
Light the fuse to fire me from a cannon with a cry
There ain’t no way to win a war if someone doesn’t die so
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill
‘cos we’ll always have the blood to spill - to fire our guns at will
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill - then kill
You know i got the blood to spill so fire your guns at will
We fire our guns to kill
I knew there’d never be no warning
There’s just a bullet burning in my side
So i say farewell to the soldier’s burden
But even in death my ghost can’t rest while we still fight
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill
‘cos we’ll always have the blood to spill - to fire our guns at will
Take aim where you will if you got the heart - the heart to kill - then kill
You know i got the blood to spill so fire your guns at will
Fire your guns at will
