Mercenary Man Lyrics by Firewind

The Premonition

2008

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 the 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

-Solo-

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
