It seems like yesterday That day I held you in my arms Now I'm gone The warm embrace of my protector is lost forever I will make it back to you or die trying You are with me every step I take I know not why but I must honour you I swear I will make it back home Back home Soldiers won't be cast into their afterlives For a fight they never believed in I wasn't born to die Empire of the gun Empire the... gun Empire of the gun We will not fail We will not falter Empire of the gun Soldiers won't be cast into their afterlives For a fight they never believed in I wasn't born to die but I would sacrifice my life.
