Deserter Lyrics by Chasing Daylight

2021

[Verse 1]
Nobody told me that I would have to go to war
Nobody told me what is it I'm fighting for
Nobody told me I would leave it all behind
Nobody told me I would put my life on the line

[Chorus]
It feels like I've been trying to stay
The deserter in my heart keeps running away
When the calvary comes to take me away, I'm lost
Yeah, it feels like I've been trying to stay
The deserter in my heart keeps running away
When the calvary comes to take me away, I'm lost

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry that I let you down
It's getting so hard just to keep both feet on the ground
The deafening blows, the fiery glows
Everybody runs when the bullets have flown
Is there any reason worth my dying?

[Chorus]
It feels like I've been trying to stay
The deserter in my heart keeps running away
When the calvary comes to take me away, I'm lost
And it feels like I've been trying to stay
The deserter in my heart keeps running away
When the calvary comes to take me away, I'm lost

[Bridge]
Quit fooling around
Can't you hear that sound?
They keep coming for you
But you won't back down
Quit fooling around
Can't you hear that sound?
They keep coming for you
But you won't back down
You ain't taking me down, do you hear this sound?
I ain't running from you, gonna stand my ground
You ain't taking me down, do you hear this sound?
I ain't running from you, yeah, I won't be back down

[Chorus]
It feels like I've been dying to stay
The deserter in my heart's not running away
When the calvary comes to take me away, I'm Yours
Yeah, it feels like I've been dying to stay
The deserter in my heart's not running away (Not running away)
When the calvary comes to take me away, I'm Yours (I'm Yours, I'm Yours)

[Outro]
Won't take me down
Gonna stand my ground
You hear me now?
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na-na-na-na
