Courage fading as you walk away Had a million other things to say Then you turned away and I thought I'd shout Like a coward i just chicken out Two men standing on an open green 20 paces, no one in between Angry trigger on a smoking gun See the coward as he turns to run From the Colonel Royal Army on his Father's Side You're a coward, you can run but you can never hide I keep on running from the bayonets and cannonballs I accuse you of deserting our moe.st worthy cause The soldiers death is living hell. escape is death, or run away Get back in line so you can fight for me another day No bloody way, I'm gonna run, so shoot me in the back The bullet flies, The coward falls, The Colonel's knife comes from his pack Look over here boys gonna carve me out a souvenir I'll take a nose, I'll take an eye, I'll take the coward's ear Till the coward turned around, he held his gun in hand Then the colonel's dropped his knife he tried to turn away and run I'm gonna end this with a bullet from my gun in hand!! THE BLOOD, THE BAYONETS, THE GORE, THE DEATH, THE CANNONBALL!!! Rides the Colonel's horse back to his home His children kiss him, he returns alone His wife hugs him, nothing left to say The fighting's over, everybody ran away
