lyrics

Well I always knew
That I’d go down without a dagger
It wasn’t hope it was the truth
From all of that war, I was removed

I lived my days
Behind the shield of a country
I had a flag and make it known
But soon I learned, conviction was my own

Now I have tasted
The bitter swells of hatred
So won’t you lay me down
Cause I have yet to get my rest
With all these medals on my chest

When I crossed the combat line
With twenty brothers at my side
We were living in a haze
Where all the truths began to fade

But I stood my ground with my men
Even after dropping down to ten
Cause there was purpose in our steps
And as we took the road ahead we carried lives of all the dead

Now I have tasted
The bitter swells of hatred
So won’t you lay me down
Cause I have yet to get my rest
With all these medals on my chest

Time flew me home
But even then I was alone
I couldn’t blame my simple town
They feared one wrong word would burn me down

Yes I served my country’s cry
Maybe even saved another’s life
I could’ve sworn I would move on
The war is over after all
But still I’m trying not to fall

Now I have tasted
The bitter swells of hatred
So won’t you lay me down
Cause I have yet to get my rest
With all these medals on my chest
