Soldier of Fortune
Blood Spencer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you been there?
I´ve seen it long enough!
will they stare
from heaven above?
Have you been there?
I´ve seen it long before!
will you ever care?
the raging die evermore!

And I won´t sell my life
as a burden
I will stand my man
always cursing
for you
for you
for you
for you

I´m plain in being consult
in four steps of my life
that´s what we have in common
and everything is right

And I won´t sell my life
as a burden
I will stand my man
always cursing
for you
for you
for you
for you

One Day I´ll take your promise
and cover it in blood
pull the trigger two times
end our lives tonight

a bitter taste
a trusted face




a growing hate
it all remains
