Die for Your Country Lyrics & Tabs by Indus Creed
Die for Your Country
guitar chords lyrics
Living in the city
trying to break out of the rut
you need excitement
to feed the fire in your gut
all along the border
further tensions escalate
war is imminent
you wont have long to wait
The politicians draw the line
we're supposed to kill the people on the other side
You hear the call to arms
visions of fame, visions of glory
you'll be back when the war is won
you'll be the star of all those stories
And you were free to make the choice
you'll be back when the war is won
you'll be the star of all those stories
And you were free to make the choice
it seemed so easy
a real hero's sacrifice
to die for your country
Down in your trench
you feel the taste of fear
you hear somebody shout
and you know they've broken through to the rear
fighting back the panic
wondering what to do next
but you're a man
and this is just another test
You're gonna fight your way out of this hell
you dont even hear the whine of that fatal shell
As your world dissolves around you
you dont even know what you're dying for
your dreams and aspirations
they dont matter anymore
And you were free to make the choice
it seemed so easy
a real hero's sacrifice
to die for your country
The survivors trudge back home
the war is over
and you're another name on a slab of stone
the politicians played their game
they made you throw your life away
how come they never die for their country
She stands alone beside the grave
fighting back the tears
her whole body wracked with pain
how you wish that you were there
to hold her hand ,to touch her hair
but you had to go and die for your country
The survivors trudge back home
and she's fighting back the tears
'cos you're just a name on a slab of stone
how you wish that you were there
to hold her hand, to touch her hair
but you had to go and die for your country
