Guillotine's Release

歌詞

These are fine words you're saying I know you mean them well This game of life we're playing Is half in heaven half in hell And your ideals are to be envied Like some little child's dream They crash around my aching head Like rocks tumbling down a stream You're the soldier of freedom And you're the fighter for peace But you'd put the gun into my hand And signal up the guillotine's release There's been a million years of troubles And there'll be a million more And a million years of history Well, you just cannot ignore And I wish I had your confidence In our own sweet human kind But your words are just the ashes Of what all the others left behind You're the soldier of freedom And you're the fighter for peace But you'd put the gun into my hand And signal up the guillotine's release So you can sing to me of bravery Sacrifice and pain And you know I'll listen carefully 'Cause my heart feels just the same But your way it's like the trundle Of a worn and wooden wheel And your words are made from speeches Your own innocence conceals You're the soldier of freedom And you're the fighter for peace But you'd put the gun into my hand And signal up the guillotine's release So you can say I'm tired You can say I am no use You can say my courage fails me But that's only half the truth It's love we all are needing We've been fighting for too long Now I'll lay down my weary pen And I will kindly move along You're the soldier of freedom And you're the fighter for peace But you'd put the gun into my hand And signal up the guillotine's release
