Blood Upon the Risers Lyrics by Jonathan Michael Fleming

2023

[Intro, Jonathan Michael Fleming]
He was just a rookie trooper and he surely shook with fright
He packed up his equipment and made sure his pack was tight
He had to sit and listen to those awful engines roar
And he ain't gonna jump no more

[Chorus, Both]
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, he ain't gonna jump no more!

[Pre-chorus, Jonathan Michael Fleming, (Soldiers)]
"Is everybody happy?" cried the sergeant looking up
Our hero answered bravely, "Yes" and then they stood him up
He leaped right out into thе blast, his static line unhooked
He ain't gonna jump no morе (He ain't gonna jump no more)

[Chorus, Both]
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, he ain't gonna jump no more!

[Pre-chorus, Jonathan Michael Fleming, (Soldiers)]
He counted long, he counted loud, he waited for the shock
He felt the wind, he felt the clouds, he felt the awful drop
He jerked his cord, the silk spilled out, and wrapped around his legs
And he ain't gonna jump no more (And he ain't gonna jump no more)

[Chorus, Both]
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, he ain't gonna jump no more!

[Pre-chorus, Jonathan Michael Fleming, (Soldiers)]
The risers wrapped around his neck, connectors cracked his dome
The lines were snarled and tied in knots around his skinny bones
The canopy became his shroud, he hurtled to the ground
He ain't gonna jump no more (He ain't gonna jump no more)

[Chorus, Both]
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, he ain't gonna jump no more!

[Pre-chorus, Jonathan Michael Fleming, (Soldiers)]
The days he lived and loved and laughed kept running through his mind
He thought about the girl back home, the one he'd left behind
He thought about the medics and wondered what they'd find
He ain't gonna jump no more (He ain't gonna jump no more)

[Chorus, Both]
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, he ain't gonna jump no more!

[Pre-chorus, Jonathan Michael Fleming, (Soldiers)]
The ambulance was on the spot, the jeeps were running wild
The medics jumped and screamed with glee, they rolled their sleeves and smiled
For it had been a week or more since last a chute had failed
He ain't gonna jump no more (He ain't gonna jump no more)

[Chorus, Both]
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, he ain't gonna jump no more!

[Pre-chorus, Jonathan Michael Fleming, (Soldiers)]
He hit the ground, the sound was splat, his blood went spurting high
His comrades were then heard to say "A hell of a way to die"
He lay there rolling around in the weller of his gore
He ain't gonna jump no more (He ain't gonna jump no more)

[Chorus, Both]
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, he ain't gonna jump no more!

[Pre-chorus, Jonathan Michael Fleming, (Soldiers)]
There was blood upon the rises, there was brains upon the chute
Intestines were a-danglin' from this paratrooper's suit
They picked him up still in the chute and poured him from his boots
And he ain't gonna jump no more (And he ain't gonna jump no more)

[Outro Chorus, Both]
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die,
Gory, gory, what a hell of a way to die, he ain't gonna jump no more!
