The Ballad of Samuel Layne
guitar chords lyrics
Morning, sunshine through the window, reaching out
Feel the cold of morn, creeping in to dull the pain
No more feeling, senses steeling
Feel the warmth of fear, creeping in to dull the pain
No more feeling, senses reeling
Your love will guide me over
Your love, the memory of home
Your love will guide me over
To live the dream that's waiting on the other side
Feel the rain
To cleanse the soul of sin to set free
Wash the fear of death away
We're walking
We're loving
The sun will shine
We're walking
We're loving
The sun will shine
We're running
We're hiding
The cannons roar
Sign up and fight for right (look back you brave young men)
For life and liberty (liberty falls)
We're walking
We're loving
The sun will shine
Sign up and fight for right (look back you brave young men)
For life and liberty (liberty falls)
We're falling
We're dying
The cannons roar
I'm holding on
Waiting for the guns to stop
Time is near
The time to die
Holding on
Shouting for the hurt to stop
Clear blue sky
Time is near
The time to die
Reaching out
I'm falling down
My Sam
Promise that you'll make it home
You're never gonna let me down
The time we had will last forever
Just hold me near
Don't let this feeling go
You make it home
My God
Promise that he'll make it home
You're never gonna let me down
The time we had will last forever
Just hold him near
Don't let my true love go
Come back home
Come back my fearless soldier
Send back the fire in my soul
Welcome to hell
Welcome to hell on earth
No need for sin
No sign of man's rebirth
In the dawning
Visions of death
The sweet smell of rotting flesh
Body so cold
Dark thoughts need to confess
No redeemer
Take a look around, death is calling
Face up to the truth, life is falling
Enemy within, truth is stalling
Hold on to the dream, stop
Falling down
Falling down
Enemy falls
No face, no heart, no soul
No time to feel
Focus upon the goal
Our freedom
Generals speak
Ours is to do or die
Fight for the cause
Offer no reason
Our freedom
Take a look around, death is calling
Face up to the truth, life is falling
Enemy within, truth is stalling
Hold on to the dream, stop
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
We are forsaken here
Yes we all are damned
All that is left is to pray
Do not forsake us here
Let your sun shine down
With your love
Will you help her get through?
The long days
Will you guide her my love?
With your faith, lord
Steady my hand
Washing the warm blood away
We are forsaken here
Yes we all are damned
Let the love that burns in our hearts
Shine a light for all to follow home
Let your sun shine over this land
Taking us all to your heart
Let the love that burns in our hearts
Shine its light
Let your sun shine over this land
Taking us all to your heart
So here it is, it's the end
Running together again
As the rain beats down
Firing the gun
Hear the sound, be as one
Comrades fall all around
Heaven's forsaken us now
Fight to the end, make it quick
As the blood flows down
Fear on their face
Hide the pain, show no trace
To the silent refrain
Running but making no ground
Darkness descends all around
Am I holding on?
Changing this life
To see one more night
Am I holding on?
Silence descending, no sound
Sunlight it shines all around
Am I holding on?
With blood red the sun
Chasing the light
Am I holding on?
Will you take my hand and
Walk with me?
I can hold my head up high
