I found my shelter right here in this chair
I drink with the ghosts of the past
I found my shelter right here in this chair
I drink with the ghosts of the past
The sky was on fire and the mud sucked us down
I never uttered a word
The sky was on fire and the mud sucked us down
I never uttered a word
Oh my brothers asleep in the ground
Never to stir anymore
Oh my brothers asleep in the ground
Never to stir anymore
The boys in the bar with their uniforms on
You better run home to your ma
The boys in the bar with their uniforms on
You better run home to your ma
Fists started flying, all covered in blood
The ditch where they felled me last night
Fists started flying, all covered in blood
The ditch where they felled me last night
I heard them whisper and I saw them smile as they dragged me away
I heard them whisper and I saw them smile as they dragged me away
Cold as the bottle that led me to this
Hard as the truth that I spoke
Cold as the bottle that led me to this
Hard as the truth that I spoke
I'm done with this life, still I cling to your love, my sweet Karoline
I'm done with this life, still I cling to your love, my sweet Karoline
The silence between us
The tears in your eyes have already buried me whole
The silence between us
The tears in your eyes have already buried me whole
Now the barstool is empty, the sun cannot shine
There's a note on the barbed wire fence
The barstool is empty, the sun cannot shine
There's a note on the barbed wire fence
Pull back the hammer and steady your hand
There's one in the chamber for me
Pull back the hammer and steady your hand
There's one in the chamber for me
Nobody cried and nobody spoke
As they carried my body away
Nobody cried and nobody spoke
As they carried my body away
